Michael Anthony Nuzzo, 19, was shot and killed in the parking lot of a convenience store in Big Sandy, Tennessee, on the evening of November 16, 2015. Burns then drew a handgun and fired one shot that struck Nuzzo in the chest. Emergency personnel attempted to revive Nuzzo at the scene for about twenty minutes before he was taken to Camden General Hospital and pronounced dead.

Burns, then 21, waited at the scene for law enforcement and was later arrested and charged in connection with Nuzzo’s death. The case proceeded to trial, where jurors declined first-degree murder but convicted Burns of second-degree murder, resulting in a 17-year sentence. A motion for a new trial was granted and subsequent proceedings continued after that ruling.

Does anyone have information about the events in Big Sandy that night or knew either man and can help clarify what happened?
