Live Oak — A 20-year-old Columbia County man lay dead in an O’Brien home Thursday following an argument over a woman, according to Suwannee County Sheriff Tony Cameron. Dead is Zachary Pritchard, 385 SW Marcis Terrace, Lake City. According to Cameron, Pritchard was engaged in an argument with Trenton Lance Lacy, 24, of 112 SW Golden Glen, Lake City, at 4 a.m. when one of the two produced a firearm. The men fought over the gun, at which point another man intervened to break up the fight. It was at that point the firearm discharged. Pritchard died “within a matter of minutes from a gunshot wound over his eye,” Cameron said. The exact circumstances of the shooting aren’t clear. “There are things about this that I’m unsure of to call it an accident,” Cameron said. “I don’t feel like one person should decide. I’m going to request that the state attorney put this before a grand jury.”
