A man is dead and another is charged in a July 4 shooting death in Decherd, Tennessee, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Sixty-year-old Gary Lamb had been shot at a residence on West Main Street in Decherd when officers got to the home around 6 p.m. CDT Saturday, TBI spokesperson Susan Niland said in a statement. Lamb had been shot "multiple times," Niland said.
Henry Brown Green Jr., 67, was arrested Sunday on a charge of first-degree murder. Green is being held on a $2 million bond, according to Franklin County Jail records.
TBI agents found that Green allegedly was responsible for the killing, Niland said, but there were no further details available in the statement.

The shooting happened in the mostly residential 600-700 block area of West Main Street, a four-lane primary route that bisects Decherd and links to U.S. 41.
Taylor said Green and Lamb had become involved in a dispute over property. At some point, Green went back to his home to retrieve a weapon and returned, allegedly shooting Lamb several times, Taylor said.
It was unclear Monday whether Green had an attorney. He faces an Aug. 13 date in Franklin County General Sessions Court.
