On the evening of January 7, 2015, deputies from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home on Quail Hollow Drive in Cumming, Georgia, after reports of a domestic dispute. They found 25-year-old James Tanner Conrad in the living room with a single gunshot wound. He was taken to North Fulton Hospital and pronounced dead that night.

Investigators say the longtime boyfriend of Conrad’s mother, 57-year-old Frank Huffman, was identified as the suspect. Authorities report a physical fight broke out between Conrad and Huffman; during the struggle Huffman produced a firearm and shot Conrad. Conrad’s mother, Sherry Conrad, suffered a minor head injury while trying to intervene. Alcohol was believed to be a contributing factor.

Huffman was arrested at the scene and charged with murder and aggravated assault. He was held at the Forsyth County Detention Center without bond. At sentencing, Conrad’s father, sister and mother gave victim impact statements describing their loss and grief.

Did anyone in the Cumming area know James Tanner Conrad or have information about that night?
