Justin McKinney, 33, was killed in a home invasion in the early morning of December 4, 2018, at his house on Elrod Lane in Morganton, Georgia. Police say two 15-year-old boys, Blake Dickey and Hunter Hill, knocked and were let inside after claiming they needed a place to go. While McKinney tended a wood-burning stove, shots rang out; McKinney was found shot in the back of the head and died at the scene. His girlfriend, Anna Franklin, was shot as well, the bullet passing through her arm and lodging in her neck.

Investigators say the killing was part of a planned robbery targeting McKinney, who was known to sell marijuana. A 410 shotgun was identified as the fatal weapon and a .25 caliber handgun was also fired. In the days after the shooting authorities arrested Blake Dickey and Hunter Hill and later charged two more teenagers: Dalton Levi Manuel, 15, and Lakota Ricky Cloer, 16, the latter charged as a party to the crime. All four were held in a youth detention center.

Are there people who knew Justin, Anna, or the teens who can share information about what happened that night?
