Richelle Scott Lail, 22, was killed in a shooting on March 2, 2016, in the parking lot of a McDonald’s along Highway 321 in Hickory, North Carolina. The shooting happened around 6 p.m.; Richelle was found near the playground area with apparent gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A second victim, 28-year-old Cody William Watts, was discovered seated in his vehicle with gunshot wounds and was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Investigators described the shooting as arising from a domestic dispute. Eric Terril Yount, 22, who had previously been in a relationship with Richelle, was identified as the suspect after an argument in the parking lot; he reportedly retrieved a handgun from his vehicle and began firing. Richelle was struck in the head and Cody was shot multiple times in the neck and chest.
Richelle was a mother to two children, Tanner Scott and Aubrey Millison. What else is known by anyone who was at the scene or knew Richelle, Cody, or Eric that could shed light on the events that night?
