Christopher Padgett, a 40-year-old white man, was shot and killed in Augusta, Georgia, on the evening of Friday, January 24, 2014. The shooting also left another man wounded and prompted an investigation by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators arrested Carlos Heard within days of the shooting. He was initially charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; that charge was later upgraded to murder as the case developed. The case proceeded to trial, the prosecution and defense presented their arguments, and a jury found Carlos Heard guilty of the murder of Christopher Padgett. Heard was subsequently sentenced for his role in Padgett’s death.
