In the pre-dawn hours of October 29, 1987, 35-year-old Larry Judson Sneed was shot and killed during a roadside robbery on Miller-Bottom Road near Walton, Georgia. Miller allegedly opened fire on Sneed’s car with a .22 rifle, then the van struck Sneed’s vehicle from behind. When Sneed exited and tried to flee, he was shot in the back and left to bleed to death while the group took his wallet, a cooler, a check, and credit cards before fleeing when a nearby porchlight illuminated the scene.

Investigators focused on the trio after Miller, jailed on an unrelated charge, provided detailed statements about the incident on November 11, 1987. He eventually admitted being at the scene; a polygraph indicated deception about whether he fired the fatal shot. A Walton County jury later convicted Miller of murder and armed robbery, finding statutory aggravators that the killing occurred during an armed robbery and was committed to obtain money and valuables. Anyone with memories of that night or information about Sneed is asked to come forward.
