On the evening of March 16, 2014, Sterling Antonio Hargrave, 21, was found fatally shot at Wild Horse Creek Park in Powder Springs, Georgia, alongside 23-year-old Terrance Banks. Cobb County police were called after neighbors reported hearing gunshots and discovered the two bodies, and investigators concluded the killings were tied to an armed robbery connected to a drug transaction.

Police focused on 14-year-old Jaydon Lee Reid of Marietta, who was apprehended fleeing the scene and found with a 9mm handgun and a bag of marijuana. Investigators reported the victims’ DNA on Reid’s clothing and matched the handgun to bullets recovered at the scene. Reid, who had known associations with a local gang called Ham Squad, was charged as an adult with malice murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery and violations of the state gang statute.

In 2016, at 17, Reid pleaded guilty and received two consecutive life sentences plus 15 years, with parole eligibility only after serving 30 years. Did anyone who knew Sterling or Terrance see them in the days before March 16, 2014?
