Dylan Marquis Ledbetter, 25, and Demarious Kevauh Greene, 23, were charged on Thursday after they shot dead a man and injured a woman over a $5 necklace.
Two male Florida residents were convicted in Georgia this week in relation to a shooting in October 2016 that left one man dead and a woman wounded over a $5 costume necklace.
Anthony and Cynthia Welch dined at the Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen for a birthday celebration, and were later approached by Ledbetter and Greene on their way back to their car in the restaurant’s parking lot. The two shot dead Anthony Welch with a .380 caliber firearm as he attempted to protect his wife, before they ripped the $5 costume necklace from her neck, according to the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office.
On October 15, 2016, authorities confronted Ledbetter and Greene as they drove into a gas station. When Ledbetter saw police approaching, he drove away from the scene, hitting a cop car and another vehicle as he maneuvered his vehicle out of the gas station. After a chase, both men were arrested by authorities.
Marietta, a city northwest of Atlanta, has one of the highest crime rates — 40 per one thousand residents — in America compared to all communities of all sizes, according to Neighborhood Scout. More than 77 percent of communities in Georgia have a crime rate lower than Marietta’s, whose roughly 61,000 residents have a one in 25 chance of becoming victim to either a violent or property crime in the area.
