A family dispute in Dinwiddie, Virginia, on the morning of August 21, 2016, ended with 25-year-old Brandon Coles shot and killed by his brother. Brandon was at the home of his brother, Terrell Coles, then a Dinwiddie County Sheriff’s deputy, when an argument escalated.

Terrell was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation conducted a follow-up inquiry at the sheriff’s office request. A special grand jury reviewed the evidence and concluded Terrell had acted in self-defense, recommending the murder charge be dropped. On October 4, 2016, the Dinwiddie Commonwealth’s Attorney moved to dismiss the charge and a judge accepted the motion, clearing Terrell of criminal wrongdoing in Brandon’s death.

Are there details about the hours leading up to the dispute or witnesses who haven’t been interviewed that could shed more light on what happened?
