March 11, 1971 — A seething family disagreement boiled into a flaming tragedy late Wednesday when a young Warsaw man was killed by a shotgun blast. His 15-year-old stepson is being held in connection with the slaying.
The victim, Dale Alfred Bragg, 31, of 124 W. Prairie St., died of massive hemorrhaging from a shotgun wound in the back.
His body was found in the parking lot at Murphy Medical Center, approximately a block from his home.
Bragg walked toward the hospital to apparently seek medical help after the shooting but collapsed and died less than 100 yards from the medical facility.
His stepson, James Allen Dill, a sophomore at Warsaw Community High School, was taken into custody shortly after the 10:15 p.m. shooting and is being held in the county jail on a preliminary charge of murder.
