Randy Leo Chaney, 54, was killed during an armed robbery at the CarQuest Auto Parts store on Airline Highway in Baton Rouge on Sunday, March 27, 2011. A resident of Greenwell Springs and native of Baker, Chaney was a self-taught mechanic, husband of 26 years and a father. He died from a single gunshot wound to the back of his head fired at close range. His co-worker, Edward Gurtner III, was also fatally shot multiple times during the same incident.

Investigators identified the shooter as 21-year-old Lee Turner Jr., who was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and armed robbery. Turner was convicted by a jury on both first-degree murder counts, and the jury recommended death as the penalty. The convictions stood on appeal, but the death sentences were later vacated because of a legal issue with jury selection, and the case was returned to the trial court for resentencing.

Did anyone who knew Randy at the store or in Greenwell Springs notice anything out of the ordinary that morning?
