Edward McKellar, 43, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of March 9, 2017, in a Warner Robins home. McKellar was a married father of six, the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Andersonville, and worked for a trucking company and the Department of Transportation.

Warner Robins officers found McKellar with a fatal gunshot wound. Investigators described the incident as accidental, saying three men had been handling a firearm they believed to be unloaded and that alcohol was suggested as a contributing factor. Two men were taken into custody and charged: 22-year-old Jermarcus Dwayne Duncan with involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct, and 34-year-old Reginald Haulcombe Taylor with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and tampering with evidence.

The shooting left a family and congregation grieving. If anyone has information about that night or knew McKellar, please share what you know.
