Amber Michelle Boggs Hicks, 31, and her husband Timothy Justin Hicks, 31, were found fatally shot in their Acworth, Georgia, home on November 18, 2021. Their 2-year-old son was found unharmed inside the residence, left alone for an unknown period after the killings.

Investigators focused on a neighbor, Matthew Scott Lanz. Surveillance showed Lanz on the Hicks property the night of the shootings, and prosecutors said ballistic evidence tied a 9mm pistol he owned to the crime. Reports say Lanz and his brother had harassed the home before the Hicks family moved in 73 days earlier. The day after the bodies were discovered, Lanz was involved in a Sandy Springs break-in, stabbed a police officer and was shot and taken into custody; those events further linked him to the Acworth deaths. A judge later found Lanz competent to stand trial despite defense claims he thought he was being set up.

Does anyone have information about the Hicks family, their neighborhood, or the days leading up to November 18, 2021?
