Jack Hough was 73 when he was fatally shot on the evening of February 7, 2019, in Gainesville, Georgia. He was sitting in his car in the parking lot of a CVS on Park Hill Drive while his wife was inside the store. Around 7:45 p.m., a man approached the vehicle and, after a struggle, shot Hough twice in the torso. He was taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center, where he later died.

Forensic evidence at the scene led investigators to identify 24-year-old DeMarvin Bennett of East Point as a suspect. Bennett was arrested in East Point on February 10, 2019; police recovered the gun believed to have been used in the shooting, and he was charged with murder. At trial in April 2021, Hough’s widow testified and Bennett was found guilty of malice murder and related charges and sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 30 years. The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the conviction and sentence in December 2024.

Did anyone in the Gainesville area see activity near the CVS that evening or have information about the struggle at the car?
