According to Clarke County Coroner Gregg Fairchild, the preliminary report from Jackson listed the 35-year old mans death as a homicide. Fairchild said the report showed Ruffin died as the result of a single shotgun blast to the back...

Ruffin's body was found in the back seat of his 2003 Cadillac DeVille at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday on Clarke County Road 242 near Vossburg, Kemp said.

The 4th annual Enough is Enough-Stop the Violence walk began at the Wayne County Courthouse and headed to the South Side Park, where singers and speakers motivated participants to help decrease violent acts in the area.

Family members of two murdered men, Joe Michael Ruffin and Norman Howard, started the walk in 2010.

Their murders remain unsolved.
