A family dispute in Scottsville, Kentucky, ended with the death of Ernest Matthew ’Doc’ Davis on February 23, 2016. Police found 30-year-old Davis at a home on Orange Street with a gunshot wound; he was first taken to the Medical Center in Bowling Green and then transferred to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, where he died the same day. He was born June 13, 1985, in Bowling Green and worked as a mechanic.

Investigators identified 25-year-old Kalob Carter, Davis’s brother-in-law from Adolphus, Kentucky, as the suspect. Carter says he intervened after his sister called for help, claiming Davis was hitting and choking her and that he shot Davis in the face in self-defense. Davis’s wife told police the argument had been heated but was not physical. Kentucky State Police and local officers arrested Carter and charged him with first-degree manslaughter; an Allen County grand jury later returned an indictment and he was released on a $50,000 surety bond.

Does anyone have information about the events that led to the shooting or witnessed the aftermath?
