Murder on Cotton Avenue Ends in Murder Charge
A Saturday night shooting on Cotton avenue left Jim Dixon dead from a rear head wound. Lew Shell, a Heyro carpenter, fled the scene after firing two shots at Dixon and another man. The coroner or jury ruled Dixon’s death a murder by Shell, with witnesses placing Shell at the store and claiming Dixon’s partner and Dan More were present. Authorities pursued Shell as onlookers reported the sequence of events, including threats and confrontations earlier that evening. The incident follows a prior dispute over Shell and a confrontation with Moie’s wife, with multiple testimonies about who spoke to whom and when.
