On the late afternoon of March 20, 2016, a domestic dispute at a Lincoln Avenue home in Gallatin, Tennessee, ended with 29-year-old Daryl Spencer Lauderdale Jr. found dead in the driveway from a gunshot wound to the chest. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots; Gallatin officers arrived about 3:53 p.m. and discovered the younger Lauderdale deceased.

Investigators say a physical altercation occurred inside the house between Lauderdale Jr. and his father, 55-year-old Daryl Lauderdale Sr. Police allege Lauderdale Sr. retrieved a .38-caliber pistol from his bedroom, went outside, and fired two shots as his son advanced toward him. Lauderdale Sr. admitted to firing; the firearm was recovered at the scene. He was taken into custody, charged with first-degree murder, and held at the Sumner County Jail.

The motive for the altercation has not been established. If anyone knew Daryl Jr., his family, or witnessed the events that afternoon, please share what can help clarify what happened.
