Sam shot his brother, Tommy

Still recovering from his near-death confrontation with Maryann the Maenad (Michelle Forbes), Sam was full of Bill's blood and sadness. He was tired of being the only shape-shifter he knew, so Sam set out to find his biological family. When he found ... more them, he learned his mother Melinda (J. Smith-Cameron) is a shifter as is his brother, Tommy (Marshall Allman), but his dad Joe Lee (Cooper Huckabee) is not. The trio also turned out to be criminal with Joe Lee using Tommy in dog fights. Sam saved Tommy but Tommy, who is not particularly educated, grew to resent Sam and stole money from him, so Sam shot him.
