Bryce McCallum was 19 when he was killed in Woodstock, Georgia, on Sunday, July 24, 2016. A recent graduate of Etowah High School and having completed his first year at the University of West Georgia, friends remembered him as positive, respectful and preparing to become a father.

That morning Bryce’s stepfather, Carl Lewis, told officers directing traffic at the First Baptist Church of Woodstock that he had shot his stepson. Deputies from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office found Bryce dead in a chair at the family home on Mirramont Place from a gunshot wound to the head. Friends reported escalating household tensions in the days before the shooting after an altercation in which Lewis allegedly punched Bryce’s younger brother and Bryce confronted Lewis; Bryce’s mother had asked Lewis to leave the home. Police records also referenced an earlier domestic dispute in January 2015 involving alleged physical acts by Lewis against his wife and Bryce.

Lewis was arrested and indicted by a Cherokee County grand jury on malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and additional counts including cruelty to children and simple battery; he was held without bond.

Did anyone who knew Bryce or the family notice warning signs in the months before July 24, 2016?
