Willie Charles Hunter, 60, known as Rock, was fatally shot at his downtown Newnan, Georgia, residence on a Friday afternoon in June 2023. Officers responding to reports of gunfire near Salbide Avenue and Thompson Street found Hunter shot multiple times inside the home. A dog was also found dead and a woman had suffered a gunshot wound to her leg; her injuries were not considered life-threatening. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called to assist.

Police arrested a 52-year-old man at the scene, identified as Fredrick Lee Tucker, who was charged with murder, aggravated assault, home invasion, and animal cruelty. Authorities did not release a motive, and it was unclear whether Tucker and Hunter knew each other. Hunter’s daughter Chalisa described him as a hardworking, quiet man who liked concrete work and had no known enemies. Does anyone who knew Willie or the downtown Newnan area have information that could explain why this happened?
