COLUMBUS - The body of a 72-year-old Columbus man, a cousin of Recorder's Court Judge Mary Buckner, was found inside his home, dead of a gunshot wound. <br>
<br>
Police did not have a motive nor a suspect in Tuesday's slaying of Moses Buckner, who is also the uncle of District Four school board candidate Naomi Buckner. <br>
<br>
Linda Buckner said she had just seen her uncle hours before he was found dead. <br>
<br>
Relatives said Buckner, who was retired, shared the home with a niece who worked in Atlanta and came home on weekends. <br>
<br>
A nephew, Garry Lakes, said, ``We don't know who would want to kill an elderly man. I guess that's why everyone is stunned.''
