Earlier, Austin and his girlfriend went “mudding” in their trucks with 32 years old Coby Rigsby and his girlfriend who lived on the same street.

Sources have reported that when Coby began fighting with his girlfriend, Austin intervened, prompted a fight in between the two men in the front yard. When Coby pulled out a pistol, Austin, his girlfriend, and Coby’s girlfriend left the scene.

Later, when Austin returned to get his four-wheeler, Coby shot and killed him.

When the officers tried to talk to Coby, who was inside his home, they heard a gunshot. They discovered him dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Both Austin and Coby was pronounced dead at the scene.
