Richard Benjamin Trantham Jr., 35, was fatally shot on the back porch of his mobile home in Screven, Georgia, on March 26, 2016. He had been inside with two friends when acquaintance Andy O’Quinn arrived and later asked Trantham to step outside for a beer. Moments after they went onto the porch a single, high-velocity gunshot struck Trantham in the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators developed a drug-related motive. Trantham’s brother said Richard had been struggling with drugs and had recently robbed a woman who supplied him, and that a hit had been feared. Court documents say Robert Rogers contacted O’Quinn the day of the shooting seeking Trantham and claiming Trantham owed money; the men then drove to Trantham’s residence. At trial Rogers was convicted of felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and received life without parole; he was found not guilty of malice murder. O’Quinn testified for the prosecution after being indicted separately and securing a plea offer.

Did anyone in Screven know more about Trantham’s movements or who might have seen the men arrive that night?
