In the quiet town of Woodbury, Tennessee, a family dispute on a summer evening in 2016 escalated into a tragedy that would forever alter the lives of the Young family. Carl Allan 'Floyd' Young, a 38-year-old man, lost his life on July 10th following a heated altercation with his own brother. The events of that day unfolded on Gunter Hollow Road, where a verbal disagreement between Carl and his younger brother, Chad Young, spiraled into a physical confrontation.
As the argument
intensified, Chad Young, who was 32 at the time, produced a handgun. While Carl was behind the wheel of his vehicle, Chad fired the weapon, striking his brother. The impact of the gunshot caused Carl to lose control of his vehicle, which then crashed into a nearby field. The combination of the gunshot wound and the subsequent wreck proved to be fatal for Carl Young. Remembered by his loved ones as a hardworking heavy equipment operator and a loving father, his sudden and violent death sent shockwaves through the community.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was called in to lead the inquiry into the death of Carl Young. Their investigation culminated in the presentation of evidence to the Cannon County Grand Jury. The grand jury subsequently returned indictments against Chad Young, charging him with one count of second-degree murder for the death of his brother and two counts of tampering with evidence.
Following the indictment, Chad Young was taken into custody by law enforcement and booked into the Cannon County Jail. A bond was set at $250,000 as he awaited legal proceedings for his alleged role in the death of his brother, Carl. The case stands as a somber reminder of how quickly familial disputes can turn deadly, leaving a family torn apart and a community in mourning.
