Rollie Bowden Vaughn III, 32, was shot and killed during a drug transaction in Macon, Georgia, on September 15, 2016. The incident occurred just after 2 p.m. in the backyard of a Bethune Avenue residence, where Vaughn was meeting two men who arrived in a late-model red car to buy marijuana. An argument broke out, one of the men produced a firearm, and in a struggle Vaughn was shot twice. He was taken to a local hospital and died about 3:20 p.m.

Witnesses at the scene and a woman who reported a similar armed robbery linked to the same vehicle helped investigators identify the two suspects. Jarodney M. Newberry, then 24, and Rashad Deangelo Brown, then 21, were arrested and later pleaded guilty to armed robbery and voluntary manslaughter; each received a 30-year sentence, with the first 20 years without parole. The District Attorney called the killing senseless, saying a bag of marijuana cost Vaughn his life and the defendants their freedom.

Did anyone in the area remember seeing a late-model red car in the neighborhood around September 15, 2016?
