Good Samaritan Jefferson Heavner Shot, Killed by Stranded Driver, Say Police
Terrible story. I'm going to go out on a limb and say alcohol was involved though.
Jefferson Heavner, 26, of Newton, North Carolina, was shot and killed Friday as he stopped to help a driver who spun out of control on a snow-covered road, according to police.
Heavner, along with two others, reportedly stopped to help 27-year-old Marvin Jacob Lee, whose car slid off a road outside Catawba, North Carolina, around 5:20 p.m., The Charlotte Observer noted. Lee reportedly “became belligerent,” as the three passersby tried to help, prompting the would-be Good Samaritans to call the police. At that time, Lee allegedly shot Heavner multiple times, killing him, before returning to his car and passing out, according to reports.
Lee was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder. He's expected to appear in county court Monday.
