In Loving Memory of Betty Fort, Jessica Carroll, Walter Bunch and Rebecca Oglesby, Four Lives Forever Remembered.

With profound sadness, we remember Betty Fort, 53; her daughter, Jessica Carroll, 31; Walter Bunch, 59; and Rebecca Oglesby, 51, four victims whose lives were tragically taken during a devastating shooting spree in Burke County, Georgia.

According to investigators, the violence followed an earlier physical altercation involving Betty Fort and Adolphus Christopher Morris. Authorities say Morris later obtained a handgun before the deadly events unfolded.

Investigators believe Betty Fort and her daughter, Jessica Carroll, were the first victims, allegedly shot at Fort’s residence on Tom Bargeron Road. Morris then allegedly took Fort’s blue Ford pickup truck and traveled to Twin Lakes Drive, where Walter Bunch and Rebecca Oglesby were fatally shot.

Another man, Andrew “Tyler” Putnam, was also shot but survived his injuries and identified Morris as the person who allegedly shot him.

The four victims were discovered Sunday after deputies responded to separate welfare and unresponsive-person calls. They were pronounced dead at the scenes.
