The district attorney's office will decide whether a Conover man will face charges in the Saturday shooting death of an acquaintance, authorities said Wednesday.
Raymond Lee Weathers, 36, of Newton was shot and killed Saturday afternoon during an altercation with John Kenneth Hedrick, 73, said Maj. Coy Reid of the Catawba County Sheriff's Office.
Weathers had been shot at least three times -- in the neck and shoulder -- with a revolver, and Hedrick had "visible injuries" to his upper body and head when the men were found in the yard of a Newton home, said Capt. Roy Brown of the Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office investigation has been turned over to the district attorney's office, which will determine the charges, Reid said.
