Barry White, 45, of Walker County, Georgia, was shot and killed on January 23, 2016, in Higdon, Alabama, after a domestic dispute. The incident began when a woman and 40-year-old Cody Lee Wade of Higdon argued; the woman called White and another man, William Gilreath, to give her a ride. When White and Gilreath arrived, Wade tried to get into their vehicle. As White drove away, Wade fired into the vehicle, striking both occupants. The car ran into a ditch near Shiloh Community Church on County Road 155.

Emergency responders from DeKalb and Jackson Counties and the Ider and Fort Payne police departments arrived around 11 p.m. and found Wade in possession of a gun. Barry White was pronounced dead at the scene; William Gilreath was injured. Cody Lee Wade was arrested and charged with murder.

Are there witnesses who saw the vehicle leave the residence or the shooting near the church who can help clarify what happened?
