Sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call around three in the morning on Rock Hill Road, and found Ricky Alan Wells shot to death.
The only person with Ricky Wells at the time of his death was his ex-wife Frankie Sue Wells. According to the 911 call Wells death was a result of a game gone terribly wrong.
Tuesday morning, the home on Rock Hill Road turned into a crime scene after the home owner, 59-year-old Ricky Alan Wells, was shot to death. His ex-wife, Frankie Sue Wells, called 911 to report the shooting and claims Wells death was an accident.
Wells: There's been a shooting please hurry.
911: Ma'am who shot him?
Wells: It was an Accident.
911: Is he awake?
Wells: No he's bleeding. He's shot in the head. Hurry.

911: OK, he was playing quick draw. What kind of gun?
Wells: He had a 45 and I had a 38. He said they were unloaded. And we were just playing.

Two years have now past...I am still in some sort of shock.I thought that I survived this awful nightmare but after 630 days I still have great sadness I feel that life is not as good and the world to me is much different with out my brother... he was more a part of me than I realized. I want him back.
I am Ricks brother... this day is the 1yr anniversary since Sue shot him,nothing has changed in the investagation that anyone could claim self defense,The case was closed simply because the accused killed herself and there was no one to charge for this crime. I have a complete copy of the investagation and there is no findings of self defense. The only thing that has changed from 1 yr ago is I miss him more. I Love You Rick...God and the angels have you now, I will keep you alive here with memorys and constant thoughts of you.
I'm the Duaghter of Frankie Wells, and she would have never shot Ricky if she didn't have to! The real victims of this crime are the family because now we have neither Mom nor Dad! The Walton County Sherriff's office needs to be fired for what they have done ! The neighbor to the house called the sherriffs ofice a week before mom shot him to complain about dad shooting the guns off at all hours of the night and they told her there was nothing they could do but they could have he was not allowed to be in possesion of a gun and they(sherriffs ofice ) knew this! The neighbor even knew it! She told them this on the phone about 2 in the moring! My mom has taken her own life and now we find out it was self defense! That's right she had to shoot him but she could never live without Rick no matter what I know they would have never left each other as sick as the relationship was on both parts they loved each other deeply! I'm sorry for the pain this has bought to the Wells family and to ours!
