Rollan Frank Edwards, 75, was one of three men attacked at a home on County Road 223 in Prospect Mountain, Alabama, on October 21, 2019. The three housemates suffered both gunshot and knife wounds; Edwards was taken to UAB Hospital in Birmingham and later died of his injuries. A second victim, 76-year-old Thomas Frank DeWille of Owens Cross Roads, was pronounced dead at the scene, and a third, 48-year-old Jody Jay Tudor, was hospitalized in critical condition.

Authorities arrested a neighbor, 30-year-old Matthew LeWayne Clayton, on Interstate 65 that same evening; he was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Reports say investigators believed the attack grew out of a long-standing dispute between Clayton and the victims. Clayton was later hospitalized following an apparent suicide attempt while in custody and died a few days after the attack.

Are there any neighbors or visitors from that area who can shed light on the dispute or what led up to the violence?
