North Carolina Man Kills Father in Disagreement over DogBLACK MOUNTAIN, N.C. – Black Mountain police are investigating the death of a man whom they say had been fighting with his son over possession of a dog prior to his death.
Officers were dispatched to 106 Fairview Drive Saturday afternoon in response to a reported disturbance. Upon arrival, they found Billy Ray Ricketts Jr. (above), 56, lying in the street. He was unresponsive and his son, Billy Ricketts III, 34, was performing CPR. Ricketts Jr. was taken to Mission Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Investigation revealed there had been a physical altercation between the father and son about a dog. The fight had started in the yard, then spilled into the roadway. “So, ultimately, assault did occur, and what we’re doing is make sure we’re aligning and get everything ready, so when the autopsy results come back and we present to the district attorney, he has all the facts,” Police Chief Shawn Freeman said. The victim’s adult son lived with his grandmother at the home where the fight took place, he added.
An autopsy has been conducted, however, police indicated the final cause of death has not been released by the medical examiner.
The incident remains under investigation.
According to Ricketts’ obituary, he “loved life and lived each day to the fullest. He was always a free adventurous spirit that loved to laugh and have fun. He had a very loving and caring heart, and he never met a stranger. He was larger than life. Billy loved riding his Harley Davidson, horseback riding, camping, fishing, his Blue Heeler ‘Bandit,’ and especially his sons and his brother.” Sources: WLOS, May 23, 2018, and Harwood Home for Funerals.

So one man is dead and another will probably spend the rest of his life in prison, all because of some worthless POS dog.

Dog-crazy people are mentally unbalanced because they care more about dogs than they do people, which this freak proved by killing his father over a damned dog.

Too bad both he and his son loved a freaking dog more than they loved each other.

These comments are so hateful. I have been around long enough to know during an INVESTIGATION for murder/crime. The police department is not going to release all of the information to the public right of the bat. WHY? Because, it is a freaking investigation. The truth will come out and when it does. Shame on all of you! As far as the dog comments go. Well it is obvious you all have something lacking in your lives. Here is a quote...
"I shall take the heart. For brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world."

I studied criminal law in college and so I know a little about investigations, too. Obviously, there were already problems between father and son and more than likely, the "dawg" dispute was the final straw in a series of disagreements. However, there's nothing wrong with any of our comments. There's nothing lacking in my life and I seriously doubt there's anything lacking in Madeline and Catherine's lives either. There's something seriously wrong with a person who values the life of some worthless fleabag over that of a human being. YOU have seriously misplaced priorities. Here's something that should excite you: whatliesbeyond.boards.net/thread/3520/woman-gives-birth-puppies
