Bobby Dewayne Ghorley, 49, was fatally shot in Athens, Tennessee, on January 14, 2014. The killing fractured a local family and shocked neighbors in the quiet community.

Investigators identified his nephew, Charles Derek Ghorley, as the primary suspect; he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Reports state the motive was not immediately released. Charles Derek Ghorley was later convicted of second-degree murder and, in December 2014, sentenced to 21 years in prison for the death of his uncle.

The case raises painful questions about what led to a fatal dispute within a family and how the community has coped since. Anyone who knew Bobby or has information about the events leading up to January 14, 2014, is asked to come forward.
