In May 2015 a dispute at a residence on Coates Branch Road in the tiny community of Ary, Kentucky, escalated to gunfire and left 44-year-old Robert Earl Miller with a fatal gunshot wound to the face. Troopers found Miller lying on the ground; he was transported to Pikeville Medical Center and died the following day.

Kentucky State Police quickly identified a suspect, 61-year-old James D. Brewer of Ary, who was alleged to have been in a fight with Miller before the shooting. Investigators obtained an arrest warrant charging Brewer with murder and described him as armed and dangerous during the initial search. State police located Brewer at his Coates Branch Road home; he attempted to flee but was taken into custody by the state police special response team and lodged in the Kentucky River Regional Jail on the murder charge.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall the dispute on Coates Branch Road or saw either man around that time?
