Shania Copeland was 20 when she was shot to death on August 5, 2016, in an apartment community on Washington Avenue in Lake Worth Beach. She was found alongside 50-year-old Leotis Lester. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office identified 62-year-old George McCray of Boynton Beach as the primary suspect; investigators said McCray, who had prior felony convictions, was in a relationship with Copeland and was reportedly jealous of her friendship with Lester.

Authorities allege McCray shot both Copeland and Lester in an act of jealousy. Investigators reported McCray had been physically abusive toward Copeland and had made statements that if he couldn’t have her, no one else could. McCray was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, tampering with a witness, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Copeland had given birth to a son six months before her death and was a graduate of Olympic Heights High School in Boca Raton. Her family and friends described her as a devoted mother. Did anyone in the Lake Worth area know Copeland, her routine, or her connections to Lester or McCray?
