NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has announced a $5,000 reward for information that helps authorities find, arrest and convict whoever is responsible for the September shooting death of Michael Heatherly.
According to a news release, Sullivan County District Attorney General Barry Staubus requested the reward from Haslam to generate leads in the unsolved case.
The release says Heatherly was shot in a Walmart parking lot in Bristol. He worked as a vendor for Walmart and was headed to his car after finishing work. Police think someone in a vehicle in an adjacent parking space shot him.
