Angela Montgomery, 60, was found dead in her Butler, Georgia, home in the early hours of July 4. She died of an apparent gunshot wound after a family dispute turned fatal. Angela had deep ties to the community, working about two decades at the Taylor County Health and Rehabilitation Center, where she rose from Certified Nursing Assistant to Supervisor of Housekeeping; she had returned to Butler after finishing high school in New York and lived there with her husband, Mack Montgomery.

At approximately 1:20 a.m., Angela’s 25-year-old nephew, Zadarius Montgomery, called 911 and reported that he had shot his aunt. Deputies from the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office, along with Reynolds and Butler police, arrived and took Zadarius into custody; he was arrested and charged with murder and booked into the Taylor County Jail. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is leading the inquiry and Angela’s body was sent to the GBI Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy. The investigation remains active and ongoing.

Did anyone in Butler or Taylor County know Angela or have information about her last hours or the events that led to the shooting?
