J.A. Nesler, 26, was shot and killed on January 23, 2014, at his father’s home in Dayton, Texas. The elder man, 61-year-old James Albert Nesler, was charged with murder after the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office responded and took him into custody. Authorities said a brief argument escalated after J.A. had a disagreement with a visiting friend; the father later said his son approached him in a threatening manner and he fired a single shot from a .357 revolver.

The bullet entered J.A. Nesler’s chest and he was pronounced dead at the scene; an autopsy confirmed the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the chest. James Nesler told investigators he intended to shoot his son in the shoulder as a warning, but the shot struck the chest. He was held at the Liberty County Jail with bond set at $500,000.
