A family dispute in Wagarville, Alabama, on December 19, 2020, ended in a double fatality between father and son. Thirty-two-year-old Kelvin Nicholas Coker, known as Nic, reportedly shot two pit bulls after they were rough with a child at the residence. His 60-year-old father, Kelvin James Coker, then arrived and a heated argument escalated into gunfire.

According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the elder Coker drew a handgun and shot his son while still in his vehicle. Nic Coker, armed with a shotgun and wounded, returned fire and fatally wounded his father. Both men died at the scene from gunshot wounds and no arrests were made because both involved parties were deceased. Authorities noted prior calls to the family property for other incidents.
