Kingsport fight video shows what led to deadly brawl
KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) – Video footage of a fight that hospitalized and killed a 63-year-old Kingsport man appears to show what happened in the moments leading up to the brawl.
The Kingsport Times-News reports the footage, filmed March 11, shows an expletive-laced standoff between neighbors at a property line. It says Marion Guy and a 46-year-old man cross over to attack a lone 18-year-old.
The newspaper says Guy throws the first punch at the teen, who fights back. Toward the end, Guy is seen kneeling with a hand to his bleeding head.
Guy was hospitalized for the next 17 days and died on Monday.
The teen’s stepfather says the fight occurred after Guy and the other man in the fight accused his stepson’s friend of speeding in a shared driveway between the two houses.
No charges have been filed in the incident.
