Albert Sturgill Jr., 63, died after being shot in the neck during a confrontation at a Tennessee veterans memorial. Sturgill, known for his anti-government views and disrespectful behavior towards the memorial, was involved in an altercation with three men after displaying an obscene gesture. Eric Garrison, one of the men, retrieved a firearm and shot Sturgill. Garrison has been charged with second-degree murder and pleaded not guilty, citing self-defense. Sturgill's family disputes this, arguing he was backing away and posed no immediate threat. The incident, captured on video, has sparked outrage and debate over the use of lethal force.
