Deputies responded to a farm property in rural Rawlins County, near the Thomas County line. The property was west of the residence at 34428 County Road B, near Rexford, Kan. When they arrived they found Gary E. Withers, 74, dead from an apparent gunshot wound.

Soon after, about one-half mile away, and outside the home on the property belonging to Gary Withers, deputies discovered 41-year-old Daniel “Danny” E. Withers dead from an apparent gunshot wound.
