On a Wednesday afternoon in February 2018, officers and emergency personnel responded to a Norton Road residence near Kingston, Georgia, where they found 83-year-old James Sam McCoy with a single, fatal gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

His then-wife, 58-year-old Kim McCoy, was at the home, questioned, arrested, and charged in connection with his death. Charges brought included murder; later filings expanded to felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. During trial she acknowledged shooting James McCoy but argued self-defense, claiming years of physical, verbal, and sexual abuse and related trauma; the prosecution pointed to eviction, alleged romantic entanglements, and marital issues, including alcoholism, as possible motives.

A jury returned verdicts on those charges and a judge imposed sentence. Is there anyone who knew James Sam McCoy or the family who can fill in details about their relationship or the events leading up to that February day?
