Broadrick Shropshire's home, located at 70 Wesley Road in LaFayette, Ga. Shropshire's family has lived in the area for years and are descendants of James Wesley Stalling. Roderick Jackson's family has also lived in the area for generations and are descendants of Stalling's brother.

Broadrick Shropshire's glasses the day he killed Roderick Jackson. Shropshire and other witnesses told investigators that Jackson threw a glass of liquor in Shropshire's face, leaving him unable to see. Shropshire then retreated to his room to clean his glasses and grab his gun.
