A family argument in Buckeye, Arizona, ended with a 69-year-old man dead and his son-in-law charged in connection with the killing. On June 25, 2014, Mark Wells was found on a couch in his South 209th Avenue home with a gunshot wound to his head after a dispute that reportedly became physical and involved a firearm.

Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office investigators say Cory Robert Candler, 41, the victim’s son-in-law, called authorities hours later and told them he had killed Wells. Candler said the shooting occurred during a struggle over the gun and that he attempted CPR and contacted out-of-state relatives. Deputies at the scene questioned whether life-saving efforts had been made, citing the victim’s body position as inconsistent with CPR.

Candler was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder and held on $500,000 bond. Does anyone have information about Mark Wells, the household, or the events leading up to June 25, 2014?
