In the early morning hours of April 26, 2013, a dispute at a residence on Blackwell Road in Bassett, Virginia, ended when 44-year-old Sonny James Turner was fatally shot. The confrontation took place about 2:25 a.m. and progressed from an argument into a physical fight before Turner, known to family and friends as Bug, was killed. He was born May 12, 1968, and is survived by two daughters, a son, and several grandchildren.

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office investigated and arrested Thomas Dwayne Turner, the victim’s 36-year-old cousin. He was charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and was being held without bond at the Henry County Jail. Funeral services were held at Bassett Funeral Service Chapel, and Turner was buried in the Old Center Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery.

Does anyone have information about the evening of April 25–26, 2013, or knew Sonny and his family that could help clarify what led to this confrontation?
