On the evening of September 11, 2011, 31-year-old Dedria DeShay and 33-year-old Darryl Scott were shot inside a home at 141 Tommie Lane in Sparta, Hancock County, Georgia. Officers who responded between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. found both victims with gunshot wounds; Scott was initially conscious but died en route to Oconee Regional Medical Center, and DeShay was also killed in the intrusion.

Authorities arrested 19-year-old Brandon Charleston and a Hancock County grand jury later indicted him on seven counts, including two counts of malice murder, two counts of felony murder, armed robbery of Scott, burglary, and aggravated assault for allegedly firing at DeShay’s son, who avoided injury by sheltering in a bathtub. Charleston’s trial began in August 2013 at the Baldwin County Courthouse with the prosecution prepared to call more than 40 witnesses.

After nearly 12 hours of deliberation the jury acquitted Charleston of the malice murder charges and the armed robbery and burglary counts, but deadlocked on the two felony murder counts and the aggravated assault count, leaving those charges unresolved. Is there anyone who knew Dedria DeShay or has information about what happened that night?
