George Young, 43, was shot dead on his front porch in Buford, Georgia, on the night of November 17, 2017. He had just returned from a late shift, keys still in the door, when he was struck twice and collapsed outside his home. Inside were his wife of 22 years, Tia Young, their three sons, and a family friend, Harvey Timothy Lee.

Initial statements by Tia suggested a random act of violence might explain the killing, but investigators found inconsistencies in accounts from Tia and Lee. Detectives uncovered evidence that Lee and Tia were involved in an intimate relationship, that Lee had been given a job and a place to stay by George, and that a GPS device had been placed on George’s truck. Prosecutors identified a $1 million life insurance policy naming Tia as beneficiary as part of the motive.

Both Tia Young and Harvey Timothy Lee were arrested and charged in April 2018; their trial evidence emphasized the affair, the tracker and the insurance policy. In April 2019 a jury convicted both defendants and imposed prison terms. Does anyone have information about George’s last hours or recollections from neighbors that could help clarify what happened that night?
