Murder charges included in Grand Jury Findings

The January Term Grand Jury in the Superior Court of Stephens County returned more than 30 indictments on Jan. 2. 

Included in the indictments were charges of malice murder, felony murder and aggravated assault against Skye Savannah Shaw and Richard Fitzgerald Weir, individually and as parties concerned in the commission of a crime. According to the indictment, the charges stem from an incident that occurred on June 11, 2022, when Shaw and Weir allegedly shot Waylon James Lee multiple times, causing Lee’s death. 

Other indictments handed down include more than a dozen indictments on charges involving methamphetamines, including trafficking charges, as well as numerous family violence charges and crimes against children.
