On the morning of January 20, 2017, a 31-year-old man, Ronald Chadwick Morgan, was found fatally shot in a ditch beside Holly Springs Road in Rockmart, Georgia. Deputies responding to a 911 call at about 4:17 a.m. determined Morgan had been riding his motorcycle when someone shot him; an autopsy later showed five gunshot wounds — twice in the torso, twice in the shoulder, and once in the back of the head.

Within days, investigators arrested three Rockmart residents: Austin James Nicholson, 22; Carlos Fredrico Hightower, 26; and Magan Darleen Carroll, 24. Authorities alleged the killing was an ambush tied to a dispute over property, and charged all three with felony murder. Prosecutors said Hightower was dropped off by Nicholson and Carroll near Carroll’s neighborhood, waited for Morgan to pass on his motorcycle, then opened fire and called them to pick him up after the victim crashed into an embankment. Nicholson and Carroll posted a $27,700 bond in February 2017.

Does anyone have information about Morgan’s movements that night or about the property dispute referenced by investigators?
