In the early hours of a Tuesday in March 2018, a family dispute at a south Fulton County home in Fairburn ended with 54-year-old Troy Fountain shot and killed. The shooting occurred around 3 a.m. on March 27, 2018, after Troy went to the residence of his 81-year-old father, Lance Fountain. Police reported Troy, who was estranged from his father, threw rocks at the house and tried to force his way inside. Lance Fountain discharged a firearm through the front door, striking his son in the head; Troy Fountain was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities initially did not charge Lance Fountain and referred the investigation to the Chattahoochee Hills Police Department, saying they were looking into whether the shooting was an act of self-defense. Police noted a prior report by the father alleging theft by his son and mentioned a history of drug use. Lance’s wife and another adult child were in the home at the time.

Does anyone have information about the investigation or the events that led up to that night?
