Michelle Ware, 39, was killed in her Hephzibah, Georgia, home in December 2015 while her children were present. Her nineteen-year-old daughter found her unresponsive and bleeding on the floor; the daughter told arriving officers that Michelle’s husband, Robert Ware, had shot her. The daughter attempted resuscitation and called 911, but Michelle died of her injuries.

Robert Ware fled the scene but was located that same night when a state trooper spotted his vehicle in Washington, Georgia. A high-speed pursuit ended with his surrender and arrest; officers recovered a firearm from his vehicle that was later confirmed as the weapon used in Michelle’s death. At trial Ware admitted to shooting his wife and said she had told him she was in love with someone else.

A Richmond County grand jury indicted Ware in March 2016 on malice murder, felony murder predicated on aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and cruelty to children in the third degree. The jury acquitted him of malice murder but convicted him on the remaining counts; an appeal was filed and later resolved. Did anyone in the Hephzibah area know Michelle or her family and have information that could shed more light on what happened that day?
