Sophia Mariel Bullard was 20 when she was killed during a late-night gathering and bonfire at a house on Moccasin Gap Road near McDonough, Georgia, in the early hours of October 27, 2016. She was one of three people initially found dead inside the home that morning; a fourth victim, Destiny Olinger, was critically injured and later died at the hospital. Reports say the victims predominantly knew one another through friends or acquaintances, which investigators described as making the violence feel intimate and senseless.

Authorities focused early on Jacob Kosky, 22, and Matthew Baker Jr., 19, both of McDonough; both men were arrested and initially charged, while three others faced obstruction charges. Prosecutors later said Kosky and Baker had been at the party, left, returned with guns, and opened fire, though some accounts reported no clear motive and others mentioned a suspected robbery motive. Kosky pleaded guilty but mentally ill in 2019 and received life without parole plus five years; Baker was later found not guilty on all charges in May 2024, leaving Kosky as the only person convicted in the killings.

Does anyone have memories of Sophia or information about that night that could add context to what happened?
