Scottie Dale Pressley, 34, was shot to death the night of December 5, 2017, in the Nicholson, Georgia, neighborhood of Pace Drive. Deputies from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office arrived after multiple 911 calls around 10:22 p.m. and found Pressley had been shot multiple times; the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to assist.

Investigators say Pressley and a man identified as Xavier Tyray Neal, in his early 20s from nearby Commerce, were acquainted and had been at another person’s home the evening of the shooting. A witness was also present. Less than an hour after the attack Neal was found in a wooded ravine near the scene; he called 911 saying he was injured and did not know what had happened. Neal was arrested and charged with Pressley’s murder. No motive has been released.

Does anyone who knew Scottie or who was in that area on the night of December 5 have information to share?
