On July 4, 2021, 23-year-old Laci Moss was shot and killed at an Independence Day barbecue at a home on Lobolly Ridge in Locust Grove, Georgia. An argument with her ex-boyfriend, 22-year-old Raphael Kelley of Barnesville, escalated; Kelley left the party and returned a short time later with a gun. In front of Moss’s mother and friends, he shot her six times and then fled the scene.

Kelley had known Moss and her family for nearly a decade and had been in a relationship with her for more than six years. He remained at large for ten days before turning himself in to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.

What information can anyone who was at that barbecue or nearby that evening share about how events unfolded before the shooting?
