Haley Leigh Hutcheson, a 17-year-old student at Claxton High School, was shot and killed in the late hours of June 14, 2020, on Veterans Memorial Parkway in Statesboro, Georgia. Hutcheson was a passenger in a Chevrolet Silverado with four other teenagers when a single bullet entered the truck’s rear window and struck her in the head. Friends drove her to East Georgia Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators focused on identifying the occupants of a second vehicle involved in the incident. Within days authorities named 21-year-old William Marcus Marc Wilson of Sharpsburg as a suspect. On June 16, 2020, Wilson turned himself in to the Statesboro Police Department and was arrested and charged with felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with Hutcheson’s death.

The shooting and the circumstances leading up to it—occupants yelling and an alleged attempt to force Wilson’s car off the road—are central to what happened that night. Anyone who witnessed the shooting, the vehicles involved, or the events on Veterans Memorial Parkway around that time is asked to come forward with information.
