Angela Boykins-Gillis, 40, was killed in a drive-by shooting at her King Circle Drive home in Swainsboro, Georgia, in the early hours of July 11, 2016. Deputies and EMS found Angela and her husband, Kenneth Gillis, who was 48, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; Angela died at Emanuel County Medical Center while Kenneth was later airlifted to a hospital in Augusta. Investigators concluded the attack was targeted, with numerous rounds fired from the street and many aimed at the master bedroom.

Authorities linked the shooting to a federal drug case naming Kenneth Gillis as a co-defendant with one of the alleged perpetrators. Two teenagers, including Talik Williams, were taken into custody early in the probe. Tony Lanard Williams remained a fugitive for nearly a year before being arrested during a traffic stop; a passenger, Walford McKinney, fatally ingested cocaine during that arrest. In July 2019 an Emanuel County grand jury returned a 44-count indictment against seven people, including Tony Lenard Williams, Talik Reaun Williams, and Neshawn Brown, charging racketeering and murder in connection with Angela Katrice Gillis’s death among other offenses.

Did anyone in Swainsboro have information about the shooting or the people named in the indictment?
