James Michael Bo Thomas, 49, was found fatally shot on August 1, 2022, in a home on Sawtooth Road in Macclenny, Florida. He and his close friend David Daniel Sigers were discovered with multiple gunshot wounds in what has been described as execution-style killings, consistent with a targeted attack.

Investigators say the suspects entered the house on July 30, 2022, and that firearms were taken after the shootings. Three people were arrested in connection with the case: Curtis Peyton Austin, 16, was charged with first-degree murder, burglary, and grand theft of a firearm; Waylon Joseph Hannah, 19, faced first-degree murder, burglary, and grand theft of a firearm charges; and Robert Martin Trueblood, 25, was charged with accessory after the fact and tampering with evidence. Authorities report the motive grew out of a prior dispute between one of the suspects and one of the victims.

The Baker County Sheriff’s Office continued the investigation as the community sought answers and the families looked for justice. If anyone knew Bo Thomas or has information about events in Macclenny around July 30–August 1, 2022, please share what is known.
