The family of an Ashland man shot to death by a security guard at Dee Ford's Underground on New Years Eve is living in a dark place.
The Rev. Billy Ross, the brother of Richard Dewayne Duncan, said the family has spent the last month searching for answers.
"It's a devastating event," said Ross, "the worst thing that has ever happened to our family."
Ross said members of the family have passed away before, but not like this. The scarce details surrounding Duncan's death have provided little solace.
Police have been more than happy to communicate what is happening on their end, said Ross. He knows they believe his brother was shot by a guard who worked for a Birmingham security firm.
"They have been answering all the questions they can," he said.
But a lack of witnesses who aren't employed by the nightclub has been vexing. Few in the crowd of New Year's revelers have come forward to fill in the gaps.
