Mickel Phillips, 58, was fatally shot in his Nashville home on Sunday, January 11, 2015. The shooting occurred during a dispute with his roommate, and reports say the argument escalated until the roommate allegedly retrieved a handgun and shot Phillips multiple times.

Phillips was found with critical injuries and taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he later died. Investigators identified Ronnie D. Word, 56, a convicted felon who lived with Phillips, as the primary suspect. Word was taken into custody and charged with criminal homicide in connection with Phillips’s death.

What did neighbors or others in the area see or hear that day, and can anyone add details about the two men’s living situation or the events leading up to the argument?
