In the early hours of a Monday in February 2017 a home invasion and shooting on Chester Lane in Ellenwood, Georgia, left two people dead and children inside the house traumatized. Police found 37-year-old Scherell Venisee with fatal gunshot wounds inside the home and Dectric Searcy in the garage with multiple gunshot wounds; Searcy was taken to a hospital and later died. Reports give Searcy’s age as either 27 or 42. Both victims were Black.

Investigators say two men ambushed Searcy in the garage as he exited a vehicle, then entered the house. Venisee confronted them and was shot when she went into the garage; both victims were struck numerous times. Police recovered a significant quantity of drugs at the scene and have described the killings as believed to be drug-related. Composite sketches were released showing two Black male suspects with distinctive hair and neck tattoos, but no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in the Ellenwood area see suspicious activity near Chester Lane around that night or know the two men shown in the composites?
