David Andrew Robertson, 40, was shot and killed in his home near Marietta, Georgia, on April 5, 2004. According to prosecutors, the visit began as a friendly call from acquaintances Joshua Kevin Drucker and Melissa McCrayer. The situation turned violent when prosecutors say Drucker shot Robertson as he rose to get marijuana from the kitchen; when Robertson’s girlfriend, 25-year-old Lora Nikolova, reacted and struck Drucker, she was also shot and killed.
Prosecutors described the motive as a mix of revenge and robbery, alleging Drucker blamed Robertson for supplying drugs that caused his sister’s overdose and brain damage. After the killings, Drucker and McCrayer are said to have stolen a wallet, jewelry, and cellphones and used them to pay for drugs, hotel rooms, and entertainment before being arrested within two days.
In October 2011, a Cobb County jury convicted Joshua Kevin Drucker of two counts of malice murder, two counts of felony murder, armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and credit card fraud. McCrayer testified against Drucker and was also indicted on murder and robbery charges. Does anyone have information about Robertson’s life in the Marietta area or about the events of April 5, 2004?
