Brandon Keith Foley, 46, was found fatally shot at a residence on Jackson Town Road in the Horn Hill community of Covington County, Alabama, on the morning of June 14, 2022. Deputies arrived about 10:45 a.m. and discovered Foley deceased from a gunshot wound. He was from Opp and is described as a devoted family man; funeral services were held June 18, 2022, at Wyatt Funeral Home Chapel with burial at Peaceful Acres Memorial Gardens.

Investigators identified 48-year-old James Derek Peoples, also of Opp, as the primary suspect. Peoples was taken into custody but initially charged with drug possession and failure to appear in court rather than with the shooting. Authorities say Peoples has asserted a claim of self-defense involving a stand your ground issue, a development that has complicated whether a murder charge will be filed. The shooting remains under investigation.

Does anyone have information about what happened in Horn Hill that morning or about interactions between Foley and Peoples leading up to June 14, 2022?
