Carnell Saintville was 19 when he was shot and killed in Cordele, Georgia, on Sunday, September 6, 2015. A former student of Amos P. Godby High School in Tallahassee, Florida, he had been active in the Airforce JROTC and was remembered for his enjoyment of laughter and travel. Investigators say Saintville became embroiled in a check-cashing scheme; when the checks did not clear, a group from Tampa, Florida, allegedly traveled to Cordele, lured him from his home and opened fire on his vehicle. Saintville was struck and died shortly after being shot; a passenger in the car escaped injury.

The Cordele Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation identified George Richardson, 29, of Tampa, as a primary suspect. In October 2021 a Crisp County jury found Richardson guilty of malice murder and aggravated assault; on October 20, 2021, he was sentenced to life without parole for the murder and an additional twenty years without parole for the aggravated assault. Does anyone have information about Saintville’s last known movements or about the scheme tied to the shootings?
