Gene Watson Griffin, 74, was found dead at his home on Launie Swain Road in Nashville, Georgia, on August 23, 2020. A 911 call brought deputies to the house that afternoon; investigators later described the scene as a homicide. Griffin, a longtime Berrien County resident and retired Tifton Aluminum supervisor who enjoyed farm life and raising cattle, died inside his residence while his wife Laquietta Griffin and her brother Ray Webster Walker were also present.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Walker was arrested the same day and initially charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and kidnapping after the sheriff’s office requested GBI assistance. Prosecutors later alleged Walker entered under the pretense of settling a property dispute, shot Gene Griffin while he sat in a recliner, shot himself, and then forced Laquietta Griffin at gunpoint to stage the scene.

Does anyone have information about the events at the Griffins’ home that afternoon or knew Gene Griffin?
