Montez Arlando Watson was 31 when he went missing after being last seen in Loganville, Georgia, on February 5, 2018. A months-long search ended on May 9, 2018, when human remains found buried in a Barrow County backyard were identified as his.

Evidence introduced at trial described Watson being shot in the chest and in the back of the head on February 7, 2018, at the Walton County home of his girlfriend. The bathroom where the shooting occurred was cleaned, and his body was transported to the girlfriend’s father’s Barrow County residence and buried near a shed. Authorities charged Michael Brent Huff with murder, aggravated assault, tampering with evidence, concealing the death of another, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Mark Campbell was also charged with murder and aggravated assault, while Jennifer Louise Huff faced concealing a death and tampering with evidence charges.

A Walton County jury later found Michael Brent Huff guilty of felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, concealing the death of another, and tampering with evidence. Anyone who knew Montez, his movements in early February 2018, or has information about what happened is asked to come forward.
