Rita Faye Henon, a 49-year-old grandmother, was killed on May 23, 2017, while leaving the K&C Short Stop convenience store in Milledgeville, Georgia, with her two grandchildren. Surveillance footage shows a man stepping out from behind an ice container and shooting her in the head; the grandchildren were physically unharmed and are now with family members. Investigators described the attack as a textbook assassination and said the suspect appeared to have targeted the next person to exit the store, with no immediately apparent connection between the shooter and Henon.

Police identified a suspect from the video and witness statements and arrested 35-year-old David Renfro, who lived about a mile from the gas station. Renfro was held in the Baldwin County jail without bond. Authorities noted Renfro had a history of mental illness and prior jailings since 2002, including a felony charge, but no known prior violent offenses.

If anyone remembers seeing Renfro near the K&C Short Stop on May 23, 2017, or has information about that day, please come forward.
