Roy Junior Hick Jr., 52, was shot dead on February 24, 2023, in the driveway of his Burke Lane home in Dayton, Tennessee. Deputies found the lifelong resident with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso and leg after the shooting, which happened about 5:52 p.m. Neighbors said a disagreement began when 44-year-old Jackie Goss asked Hickman for a ride; Hickman declined and Goss left, then returned about five minutes later with a rifle. A witness sitting in a car in the driveway saw Goss point the weapon and heard multiple shots, then saw Hickman collapse.

Law enforcement recovered four spent 7.62x39mm shell casings near Hickman’s body and later found two SKS rifles and matching ammunition at Goss’s home. Goss surrendered to police after an approximately one-hour standoff. He was initially charged with criminally negligent homicide and held without bond; a grand jury later indicted him on first-degree murder. Hickman’s daughter Ashley said the family hopes for justice and that her father didn’t deserve this at all.

Are there neighbors or others who saw the moments before the shooting and haven’t yet spoken with investigators?
