LaShonda Nicole Hicks was a 34-year-old Black woman killed on September 22, 2006, in Bartow, Georgia. That same day her 51-year-old mother, Carole Thomas, was also shot and killed; reports identified both women as victims in the same incident. Authorities named Johnny Hicks, a 39-year-old Bartow man identified as LaShonda’s husband, as the person at the center of the case and alleged he was responsible for the shootings.

Officials said Johnny Hicks was taken into custody about two hours later in neighboring Jefferson County after a short vehicle chase that ended with a minor collision involving a sheriff’s vehicle. He was booked into the Jefferson County jail and charged with two counts of murder and two counts of possessing a firearm during the commission of certain crimes; reporters noted bond had not been set. The couple left behind two children, ages 15 and 16.
