Tony Rudolph Dean, 60, of Westville, Florida, was shot and killed on Thursday, January 12, 2023, on a property in Geneva County outside Samson, Alabama. The shooting occurred during severe weather and followed a confrontation that authorities have linked to a love triangle. Dean reportedly drove to the home of Jason Kersey to see his estranged girlfriend, who was then in a relationship with Kersey. Kersey allegedly shot Dean twice with a .38 caliber handgun; Dean later died despite emergency responders’ efforts.

Geneva County investigators interviewed witnesses and took Jason Kersey into custody as a suspect in the shooting. At his initial court appearance, District Judge Stephen Smith ordered Kersey held on a $750,000 bond. Few other public details about the incident or the victim’s background have been released.
