David Heard, a 49-year-old Black man, was found dead in his home in the 33000 block of U.S. Highway 431 in the Five Points area of Roanoke, Alabama, on September 5, 2016. He had suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and deputies were called after a welfare check led them to the scene.

Investigators quickly treated the case as a planned robbery that turned deadly. On September 14, 2016, Cordamione Decornez Cameron, 22, of LaGrange, Georgia, was arrested and charged with capital murder, first-degree robbery, and first-degree burglary; authorities believed he was one of two people who went to Heard’s residence. A month later Tre’Shaniq Burley, 22, also of LaGrange, was arrested on the same charges and alleged to be the second person present that night. Two others, Cortney Simms, 26, of Roanoke, and Ashley Spidell Murphy, 24, of Wedowee, were arrested on murder and first-degree conspiracy to commit robbery counts. Investigators cite witness statements and phone records as part of the evidence linking the four to a conspiracy to rob Heard.
