The Dyer County Sheriff's Office is investigating a fatal shooting that killed 21-year-old Ethan Pike in Dyer County, Tennessee. Deputies responded to a 911 call on Thursday last week and found Pike with gunshot wounds. He was treated at the scene and taken to a local hospital but did not survive his injuries.
According to a Facebook post from the Dyer County Sheriff's Office, the sheriff's Criminal Investigation Division quickly began investigating the incident. They conducted interviews, collected evidence, and confirmed possession of the murder weapon. An autopsy was ordered to determine the cause and manner of death.
District Attorney General Danny Goodman Jr. has charged a juvenile suspect with reckless homicide. The suspect’s identity is being withheld due to their minor status.
The sheriff's office is committed to ensuring justice for Pike and his family, and they are seeking the community’s cooperation as the investigation continues. "Any loss of life in our community is tragic, and our prayers are with those who are hurting as a result of this reckless action," Sheriff Box said in the Facebook post, emphasizing the office's dedication to the community's safety. Anyone with information is encouraged to come forward.
