A fatal shooting in Bluff City, Tennessee, ended the life of 28-year-old Nicholas Feathers on a Sunday morning in January 2025. Deputies were first dispatched just before 11 a.m. after a 911 call reporting a burglary in progress; a follow-up call from the same location reported shots fired and that the person attempting to enter the home had been hit. Feathers was found dead in the road at the entrance to the Sunnyside Acres Trailer Park.

Investigators say Feathers had gone to the residence with a woman to confront the mother of his children. An altercation involving four people followed. The mother’s boyfriend, 31-year-old Ronald Wayne Price Jr., was present and was later arrested and charged with second-degree murder, reckless endangerment, and tampering with evidence; he was held in the Sullivan County Jail without bond. Sheriff’s Office reports stated Feathers had not actually tried to enter the home, and court documents note that a porch camera belonging to Price appeared to have had its footage deleted after Price consented to a search of his cell phone.

Are there readers who knew Feathers or who remember activity in the Sunnyside Acres area that morning?
