SNELLVILLE, Ga. -- Police questioned an armless man Monday about the death of his neighbor.
Relatives of Charles Keith Teer, 47, claim he died after the armless man head-butted and kicked Teer during a fight.
The two men lived across the street from each other on Pine Street in the Atlanta suburb.
Teer's relatives told police the men were arguing over a woman.
"He's dating my brother's ex-girlfriend," said Teer's sister Lynn Elliot. "My neighbor left my brother for this guy, so it's a verbal argument between them the whole time."
Elliot said the armless man attacked her brother.
"They got into a big confrontation, a verbal confrontation and a fist fight and he came after my brother, he came with full force, and head butted him as hard as he could," said Elliot.
She said Teer collapsed and died a short time after the fight.
"There's an ongoing investigation but he died within five minutes," said Elliot. "They took off running right after he got hit. He (my brother) was still standing when they left, but my daughter was here, and he leaned against the truck and said, 'I'm about to faint,' and he hit the my driveway before anything could be done."
Police questioned the armless neighbor, and will decide by Tuesday afternoon if any charges will be filed, according to Lt. Robert Stevens of the Snellville Police Department.
"I hope the guy pays for what he's done to my brother because my brother had a kind heart," said Elliot.

Go ahead y’all. I know you’ve got something to add to this thread.
I’m waiting. ..

He was attacked by an unarmed man?
This won’t hold up in court. He must’ve been up in arms.
“”They got into a big confrontation, a verbal confrontation and a fist fight “
I doubt they really got into a fist fight. I guess being unarmed didn’t hurt the guys chances.
I’m sure things will come to a head...
This thread has legs.
Armless? That rules out this guy.
“I don’t care if he ain’t gots no feets!”
Ty Cobb after attacking a man with no arms,
‘e wasn’t really ‘armless now, was ‘e?
Armless AND nameless--heckuva way to go through life.
That’s way worse than losing a fight to a girl.
Like a Teer in the head-butts.
The long arm of the law will get him.
Oh my ...
That’s a once-in-a-lifetimer.
