Two men, identified as Thaddeus Nelson and Randy Wilder in the case record, were shot to death in an incident that also involved four women—Amanda Hill, Alexis Jenkins, Audra McCluster, and Shametia McCluskey—being fired upon and suffering aggravated assault. Investigators charged two brothers, Ladarrius Jones and Jarquez Jones, with the killings and with aggravated assaults for shooting at the women, plus firearm possession during the commission of a felony.

Both Ladarrius Jones and Jarquez Jones were tried, convicted on two counts of malice murder and four counts of aggravated assault, and later sentenced. The Georgia Supreme Court reviewed the convictions; it upheld Ladarrius Jones’s convictions and ruled the aggravated assault counts did not merge with the malice murder counts because they involved different victims. Jarquez Jones received two consecutive life sentences plus an additional 85 years, a sentence the court affirmed.

Are there witnesses or local readers who can add context about the scene or the victims’ lives leading up to this shooting?
