Dennis William ’Dub’ Bryant, 21, a lifelong Appling County resident and father, was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Key West Inn on Heritage Street in Baxley, Georgia, in the early morning of December 30, 2018. The shooting occurred at about 2:40 a.m. while Bryant was taking things out of his vehicle; he was assaulted in the parking lot and gunfire erupted during the altercation, resulting in his death.

The Baxley Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation jointly investigated. Authorities identified and arrested six people in connection with the incident: brothers Rhett Austin Wheeler and Rocky Alton Wheeler, Luis Jose Torres, Gabrielle Elizabeth Labaco, Catherine Layne Zipperer, and Daisy Miranda Lott. Torres sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound during the incident and received treatment.

Many legal processes remained underway; some defendants faced felony murder and related charges, and others faced indictments for tampering with evidence and hindering apprehension. Does anyone have information about Bryant, his movements that night, or witnesses who were in the area at the Key West Inn?
