The case of a Rowan County man accused of shooting his brother will be sent to a grand jury.
The Rowan County Sheriff says Robert Jent shot and killed his brother Phillip on Tuesday night. Relatives say the two had fought for years over land, which led to the fatal argument at the family’s property along Cold Springs Hollow.
According to the sheriff, Robert claims he tried to shoot his brother in the arm to subdue him, but accidentally shot him in the chest.

Several relatives tell LEX 18 they don’t believe him.
“It’s not self defense when you get in your vehicle, then you go down to somebody else’s home and you take a gun with you knowing what you’re taking that gun with you for,” said Georgina Reed, the victim’s niece.
No charges have been filed, but investigators say the case will be presented to the grand jury later this month.
