Scott Backhaus, 41, was shot and killed the night of Friday, August 28, 2020, at a residence on Holiness Campground Road in Cleveland, Georgia. A 911 call to the White County Sheriff’s Office came in at about 10 p.m.; deputies who responded found Backhaus deceased.

Investigators quickly focused on 27-year-old Gary Blane Stephens of Cleveland. Stephens was arrested and charged initially with aggravated assault and felony murder; a White County grand jury returned multiple indictments in February 2021, including malice murder and felony murder. The Sheriff’s Office did not release further details about the circumstances in the immediate aftermath.
