David Randall Wooley, 43, was shot to death in Huntingdon, Tennessee, in the late hours of a Thursday in June 2023. His body was found in the front yard of a residence on Westport Road, and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, Huntingdon Police Department, and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation all responded.

Investigators focused on 73-year-old Charles W. Johnson, the property owner where Wooley, who was his wife’s nephew, had been living. Johnson reportedly admitted to shooting Wooley twice with a shotgun — once in the back and once in the face — after an altercation. He was arrested, booked into the Carroll County Jail on a charge of criminal homicide, and held without bond.

In September 2023 a Carroll County Grand Jury indicted Johnson on a charge of first-degree murder. The case was pending in Carroll County Circuit Court as proceedings continued. If anyone knew David Wooley, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
