In the winter of 2017, the community of Kingsport, Tennessee, was shaken by the untimely death of Stephen Ray Caudill Jr. An 18-year-old male and a recent graduate of Dobyns Bennett High School, he was known for his happy demeanor and willingness to help others. His life was tragically cut short on February 20, 2017, due to gun violence.
The incident prompted a response from local law enforcement and resulted in Dobyns-Bennett High School implementing a 'shelter in place' as police searched for the individual responsible. Shortly after the shooting, a suspect was identified and taken into custody.
Anthony Moosman was arrested in connection with Caudill's death. Following his arrest, a bond for Moosman was set at $250,000. Court documents later revealed further details about the deadly shooting, shedding some light on the circumstances that led to the loss of a young life that had been filled with promise and a close bond with his family and girlfriend.
