A man who went to a Decatur County, Tennessee, campground to sell firewood shot and killed his customer on Sunday evening. Investigators have arrested the man and charged him with first-degree murder at the Beech Bend Park campground in Decaturville, reports WSMV.
According to the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office, Jimmy Kevin Medlin is accused of firing six shots at Jerrell Barber; at least three of the shots hit Barber and killed him.
The Sheriff’s Office says Barber had been living on the campground for a couple of weeks and had gotten into a previous altercation with a couple who was also living there. Medlin was a friend of the couple and came to the campground to sell Barber some firewood. It was then investigators say the shooting occurred.
Medlin is being held without bond.
Where else but Texas would a fire wood sale would explode into gun violence. This is the dark side of lax gun laws, murdering for the dumbest reasons.
I think the article said it happened in Tennessee.
Lax gun laws don’t make murderers.
He’s only 5’4″. I guess having a gun was how he compensated.
Your lack of reading comprehension also indicates your comprehension and factual incorrectness on Texas statistics on it’s gun laws
The article has almost everything wrong…it is in Tennessee.

2. Jerell is from perry county
3. Kevin medlin had been at beech bend park…in tennessee for about 2 or 3 months
