In the early hours of May 17th, a domestic dispute at a residence on Ben Jared Road escalated to a fatal conclusion. Twenty-six-year-old Will Brock was shot and killed during an altercation with his father. According to the Putnam County Sheriff, investigators believe that 67-year-old Ralph Brock shot his son during a fight that had gotten out of hand. The incident occurred shortly after 1 a.m. at their home near the Southern Hills Golf & Country Club.
Authorities were called to the scene and found Will Brock with gunshot-related injuries. He ultimately succumbed to these wounds. His father, Ralph Brock, was identified as the individual involved in the shooting. The initial investigation suggested that a heated argument between the father and son led to the deadly confrontation.
Following the incident, Will Brock's passing was publicly announced. Funeral services were handled by a local funeral home, and his obituary was published in The Tennessean. While the authorities pointed to a domestic dispute as the cause, further details about what specifically led to the fatal altercation were not immediately released.
