An investigation into the incident determined Poore was upset with 32-year old Jesse Poore, over allegations Jesse Poore had sexually abused a member of the family. During the confrontation,  Dwight Poore pulled out a knife and stabbed Jesse in the back. As Dwight attempted to leave the scene, he also assaulted his wife, by cutting her hand with the knife.
