Scottie Alan Morton, 43, was killed during a robbery at Grady’s Old Country Store in Cove City, North Carolina, on August 3, 2017. Deputies found him at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds; he died there. Witnesses reported a black man with his face covered entered the store, demanded money, shot Morton several times, and fled in a dark red SUV.

Morton grew up in Bridgeton, attended West Craven High School, and lived in Cove City with his wife Hiedi Grady, whom he married in 2010, and their son John Alex Grady. Family described him as high energy, a practical joker, and someone who would help anyone.

The investigation involved local and state agencies, the North Carolina State Crime Lab, and the FBI, with 21 witnesses and 216 pieces of evidence collected. Several people were arrested; Anthony Lamar Johnson was later found guilty of first-degree murder and others faced charges. Did anyone in Cove City or the surrounding area see or hear anything about that night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
