HAGERSTOWN, Ind. — One person is dead and another is in custody after a shooting Wednesday in Wayne County.

Officers were called to the 4700 block of North Brick Church Road around 2:20 p.m. The location is about a mile southwest of Hagerstown.

Police found KC Allen Simpson, 32, in the front yard of a home. He had been shot multiple times and was unresponsive. A medical helicopter took Simpson to a hospital, but he later died from his injuries. 

Indiana State Police said Monday evening that Simpson's neighbor, 77-year-old Billy Wilson Sr., surrendered to officers without incident. He was held at the Wayne County Jail.

State police said they believe the shooting "stemmed from a dispute between the two neighbors" and called it an isolated incident.
