NORTH ANSON — Last weekend's shooting death of an Anson man has been ruled a homicide.

Everett Cameron, 60, was found around 4 p.m. Saturday, shot to death inside his pickup truck, which was parked on a woods road off Town Farm Road near his home.

An autopsy was done, but police are not releasing details about how he died.

Cameron went deer hunting Saturday and returned to his home by early afternoon.

He then drove his truck, a 1990 maroon and silver Chevrolet, to the woods road, which leads to a camp, and backed in about 20 feet.

Police estimate that someone shot him around 2 to 2:30 p.m. His girlfriend found him about two hours later.

Police had made no arrests by Monday.

But they worked around the clock to collect evidence and interview Cameron's family, friends and neighbors.

Cameron previously owned a gas station in town and was an avid hunter, said state police Detective Sgt. James Urquhart.

He was a paver for many years and had three grandchildren, said one of Cameron's family members.
