Nevada, Mo. -- The Vernon County Sheriff's Office has released the name of a man who was fatally shot in eastern Vernon County Wednesday night, in a mobile home near the small town of Dederick.

Jimmy Duncan, 47, Neosho, was shot once in the right side of his chest and once in the left abdomen after a reported argument grew out of control. Alcohol is believed to have provoked the fight between himself and the shooter, according to the Vernon County Sheriff's Office.

The Nevada Daily Mail originally reported that the victim was from Granby, but it was later determined the man had a Neosho address.

Vernon County Sheriff Ron Peckman reported at the scene that the weapon used was believed to be a .32-caliber handgun; however, that has not been confirmed by investigators.

Duncan was found deceased on the kitchen floor of the trailer by area first responders.

An autopsy that was to be performed at Cox South hospital in Springfield Friday morning was expected to verify his death was from the gunshot wounds.

No arrest had been made as of Thursday night.
