Latoria Waller, 30, was found shot in the Milledgeville, Georgia, home she shared with her boyfriend, in the early hours of February 15, 2022. Responders reached the Towns Street residence about 2:46 a.m. and discovered Waller in a bedroom; she was taken to a nearby hospital but died of a single gunshot wound to the heart. The first 911 call reportedly mentioned a possible overdose, but medical staff identified the gunshot upon her arrival and the case was treated as a homicide.

Investigators focused on Waller’s longtime boyfriend, Johnny Chapple. The couple had hosted a Valentine’s Day party at the house the night before. A 9mm pistol connected to the shooting was recovered in a dresser drawer across the bedroom from where Waller’s body was found. Chapple was arrested and tried for her killing; the prosecution said Chapple shot Waller, while the defense contended she had taken her own life.

In April 2023 a Baldwin County jury convicted Chapple of multiple charges, including two counts of felony murder and aggravated assault; he was acquitted of malice murder and received life without parole plus ten years. The Georgia Supreme Court affirmed the conviction in February 2026. Did anyone who knew Latoria or attended that Valentine’s party see or hear anything that night?
