John Shane McAfee was 38 and a U.S. Army veteran when he was shot dead in the driveway of his Milledgeville, Georgia, home on the evening of October 3, 2020. He had been returning from his job at Tractor Supply Company; inside the house, his girlfriend Wendy Pence heard his truck and then gunshots. McAfee’s last words to her were a desperate plea to call 911.

Investigators focused on Ray Eugene Pollard, identified as Pence’s ex-boyfriend. The separation had been acrimonious, and in the days before the killing Pollard sent threatening Facebook messages naming McAfee and saying he was ready to kill him. Police had warned Pollard previously after an incident in which he appeared at McAfee’s home screaming and honking, and officers told him not to return. Parts of Pollard’s vehicle were later found at the scene after someone crashed through a fence while fleeing, and Pollard was arrested and charged with McAfee’s murder.

Does anyone in Milledgeville or Acworth have information about the events leading up to that night or about contacts between the people involved?
