By Jackie Seabolt - On Monday a brewing feud over property ended with a gunfight and the two men involved being treated at Baptist Hospital.
The shooters are Bob Minor, 77, of 619 Burton Road, Advance, and Joseph Reed Wilson, 52, of Winston-Salem, according to Davie Sheriff’s Department Capt. J.D. Hartman.
Hartman said that Wilson was at his deceased father-in-law’s home on 123 Zimmerman Road, Advance.
Wilson and his wife were having the property surveyed.
“Apparently the property owner beside them had been having a dispute with them,” Hartman said, referring to Minor.
According to court records Minor filed a criminal summons against Wilson in November of last year for communicating threats. According to the summons Minor alleged Wilson stated to him “that he was going to kill him.”
Hartman said there had been a dispute earlier this past Monday morning when the surveyor arrived and was doing the measuring of the land. A deputy had been called to the home.
“This afternoon Mr. Minor walked back down there and it appears they both started shooting,” Hartman said.
Both were hit multiple times, according to Hartman.
Detective Kim Palmer, who is leading the investigation, said that Minor was shot at least three times ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise Record, P.O. Box 99, Mocksville, N.C. 27028.
