Alan Dale Huguley Jr., 30, was fatally shot while sitting in his car in the parking lot of a Quality Inn on Jameson Drive in LaGrange, Georgia, on the night of January 28, 2023. Just before midnight two masked individuals approached his vehicle and fired at least 21 shots, striking Huguley twelve times. He was taken to WellStar West Georgia Medical Center, where he died.

Investigators used surveillance footage to develop descriptions of the shooters — one heavy-set Black male in blue jeans, a black hoodie and blue and white Air Jordan tennis shoes, and a thin Black male dressed in all black with black and white tennis shoes. The probe led to 23-year-old Lateef Jamil Moreland of Valdosta, who was arrested August 10, 2023, and later tried. Prosecutors presented surveillance and digital evidence and matched a distinctive teal-colored Taurus handgun linked to Moreland to shell casings from the scene. On May 17, 2024, a Troup County jury convicted Moreland on multiple charges including malice murder and felony murder; sentencing was set for June 5, 2024.

The second shooter has not been publicly identified or apprehended, and LaGrange police continue to seek information about that person. If anyone has information about the second assailant or the events that night, please share tips with LaGrange law enforcement.
