Dryden, Va. (WMT) – A Lee County, Va., man is in jail on a murder charge after he shot and killed another man Saturday night.
Deputies with the Lee County Sheriff’s Department received a call Saturday evening about a shooting in the area of Jesse Peters Drive in Dryden. When deputies responded, they found 24-year-old Timothy Tomlinson standing on the roof of his home.
When deputies asked him to come down, Tomlinson told them he fired at a man, but did not know if he hit the man.
Tomlinson said he shot Shawn Nutting, a 48-year-old man from South Carolina who worked together, had been drinking and had argued before the shooting. When deputies asked where Nutting was, Tomlinson said he wasn’t sure.
When deputies walked into the front yard, they found Nutting’s body with a gunshot wound to the face.
Tomlinson was charged with first-degree murder and taken to the Southwest Regional Jail in Duffield, where he is being held without bond.
