BLAKE SHELTON and Miranda Lambert are tangled up in a shocking homicide investigation that has the country superstars gearing up for a legal battle, sources tell The ENQUIRER.
Blake has vowed to bring justice to the memory of his friend and mentor, outlaw country artist Jerald Wayne Mills, who was shot to death in a barroom altercation shortly before Thanksgiving.
Mills, the 44-year-old front man for the Wayne Mills Band, was allegedly killed in cold blood when Nashville’s Pit and Barrel bar owner Chris Ferrell shot him in the back of the head just before 5 a.m. on Nov. 23. He leaves behind a wife of more than 20 years, Carol, and a 7-year-old son, Jack.
Now Blake, 37, is calling for a full-scale homicide investigation into the bloody slaying.
