A Wayne County man is dead and another man is behind bars charged with his murder.
It happened Sunday night around 9:00 on Davis Street.
Monticello Police say Jimmy Massengale was at his mother’s home when Roger Dean showed up. Police tell us the two got into an argument and that’s what lead to gunfire. Police say Massengale shot Dean and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Right now we don’t know the exact nature of it, but it was a dispute that had been going on for a few hours. And they had been acquaintances for some time,” says Monticello Police Chief Ralph Miniard.
“It came across the scanner that someone got shot. I was watching my grandkids and I made them go inside and lock it,” remembers Deborah Beckum, a neighbor.
The circumstances surrounding the argument are still under investigation. Police say the two men are both from Monticello.
Massengale is now being held at the Wayne County Detention Center.
