In the early morning hours of Saturday, May 30, 2015, 44-year-old Billy Scott ’Scottie’ Brogan was fatally shot during an altercation on the side of Highway 63 in Speedwell, Tennessee. A call to Claiborne County E-911 shortly before 4 a.m. prompted deputies and the sheriff to respond; Brogan was found collapsed in a ditch near the back of his vehicle after attempting to flee. Investigators recovered three spent .38 shell casings at the scene and a handgun believed to be the weapon used.

Authorities took 58-year-old Roy Michael Ford, who lived on the same street in Speedwell, into custody at the scene and booked him into the Claiborne County Jail. Brogan’s body was taken to Claiborne County Hospital and later to the UT Medical Center for autopsy. Ford was charged with murder and, in January 2017, a jury convicted him of second-degree murder; a judge sentenced him to 17 years in prison to be served at the Tennessee Department of Corrections.

Does anyone have information about Brogan’s last hours on Highway 63 or recall witnessing the incident that night?
