On the evening of May 11, 2020, a neighbor dispute in a residential area of Athens, Alabama, ended with 33-year-old Joey Sutton shot dead in a driveway. The confrontation began when 41-year-old Travis Lee Stanley became angry with Sutton’s young son for riding a bicycle down Mill Valley Drive. When Sutton defended himself, Stanley allegedly produced a pistol and shot him in the presence of his child. Deputies found Sutton deceased at about 6:00 p.m. and arrested Travis Lee Stanley; the charge was initially murder and later upgraded to capital murder because the shooting occurred in front of the victim’s child.

Stanley was held in the Limestone County Jail without bond. The investigation also produced unrelated drug charges against Stanley’s wife, Christina Stanley, after a search of the home. An arraignment for Travis Lee Stanley was scheduled for August 12, 2022.

Did anyone in the Mill Valley Drive area that evening see or hear anything that could help clarify how the confrontation began and escalated?
