A late-night argument at Lock 4 Park in Gallatin ended in a fatal shooting. On May 7, 2025, at about 11:15 p.m., officers responding to reported gunfire found 30-year-old Miles Hanna dead near the park’s second boat launch. The investigation determined an argument between Hanna and another individual escalated to gunfire.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Will Wheatley and was taken into custody. Wheatley was charged with manslaughter. Hanna’s family described him as a kind, friendly mechanic who was always willing to help others; he is survived by his parents Melinda and Denny Hanna, brother Rivers Hanna, grandfather Thomas Williams, and his dog Oscar. A Celebration of Life was held on May 17, 2025, at Sellars Family Heritage in Gallatin.

The investigation is ongoing; does anyone who was at Lock 4 Park that night or who knew Miles have information to share?
