Jimmy Scott Hendrix, 52, was shot once in the chest and killed at his home on Memphis Street in Cumming, Georgia, on October 6, 2016. The shooting followed a heated argument with his former roommate, Christopher John Puckett, then 31, who fired the fatal shot in Hendrix’s front yard. Hendrix was taken to a local hospital but died of his wounds.

Puckett was arrested and initially booked on felony murder and aggravated assault charges. A Forsyth County grand jury later indicted him on malice murder, two counts of felony murder, and two counts of aggravated assault. As the case approached trial in May 2018 a key prosecution witness became involved in a separate investigation, and the state offered a plea. Puckett pleaded guilty to reduced voluntary manslaughter charges; malice murder and aggravated assault were dropped. He received a two-year jail term and eighteen years probation; time already served since 2016 covered the jail portion, and he was granted first offender status.

Did anyone in the community know Hendrix or see him around Memphis Street in the days before October 6, 2016?
