A long-running neighbor dispute in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, ended in deadly violence on the evening of May 26, 2018. David Nathaniel Scott, 47, was fatally shot and his wife Shawna was critically injured during the incident. Scott worked as a deputy jailer at the Montgomery County Regional Jail and is survived by his wife and two daughters.

Authorities allege the confrontation involved their neighbor, Frances Zaayer, after about a year of escalating animosity that included a prior allegation of assault by Shawna Scott against Zaayer. Investigators say Zaayer fired at another person earlier that day before shooting the Scotts. Zaayer was arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, and first-degree burglary and was being held at the Powell County Detention Center.

Does anyone in Mount Sterling remember tensions between these neighbors or have information about the events that led up to May 26, 2018?
