On February 14, 2024, 55-year-old Jody Allen Leazer of Mooresville, North Carolina, died after being struck by a bullet during an accidental shooting while cleaning out a residence in the 8500 block of West N.C. Highway 152. The firearm discharged as it was being loaded into a vehicle, and the round struck Leazer in the upper arm. He was treated on scene and taken to Lake Norman Regional Medical Center, where he later died.

The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office investigated and concluded the shooting was accidental with no signs of foul play; no charges were filed. Leazer was co-owner and operator of the Mooresville Dragway and was known in the community for farming, racing, and family life. He is survived by his wife Wendy Bateman Leazer, children Corey, Blake, and Austin Leazer, grandson Jaxson Leazer, parents GW and Doris Hall Leazer, sister Kathy Leazer Gillan, brother Doug Leazer, and several nieces and nephews. A memorial service was held February 20, 2024, at Cavin-Cook Funeral Home in Mooresville.
