Allen Craig Willard Jr., 25, of Suwanee, Georgia, was shot and killed in downtown Buford on Tuesday, November 20, 2018. Willard, a U.S. Army veteran who served a tour in Afghanistan, had been eating lunch at Rico’s World Kitchen with co-worker Jerome Daniel Colvin. An altercation followed and, as they left the restaurant, Colvin fatally shot Willard in the back of the head at the intersection of South Lee Street and West Main Street. Officers found Willard deceased in the roadway after an initial active-shooter report prompted a police response.

Colvin, then 34 and from Auburn, Georgia, was apprehended moments later while attempting to flee on foot. Investigators say he also tried to shoot another co-worker but the gun malfunctioned. Colvin was charged with felony murder, malice murder, and aggravated assault. During the investigation and early court appearances he made unusual statements about circles and the stars aligning and reportedly taunted Willard’s family. The judge later found Colvin not guilty by reason of insanity and ordered commitment to a state mental health facility; the family said the decision did not feel like justice.

If anyone knew Allen Willard or was in downtown Buford that afternoon, any detail could help fill gaps in the timeline.
