Two Clay county men are dead from 12-guage gunshot wounds, apparent victims of a
murder-suicide. Clay police officers found 52-year-old Joe Braley dead on his
couch. He had been shot through the back of his head, sitting near a window in his home on O'Brien's Creek near Duck. Clay Deputy Sheriff Kevin Delk said 20-year-old Matthew Keener, who lived in the vicinity, was found dead outside with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Keener had reportedly been obsessed with Braley's wife, who was in the backyard at the time of the shooting. Police responded to a 911 call about 10 p.m. Tuesday night. The Clay Communicator said Mr. Braley was employed by the Clay school system as a computer master. |
