Muscogee County Jail
A wicked man brutally murdered a hardworking grandmother last week over a cheap purchase before being killed himself.
As WKRC reported on Friday, 44-year-old Dollar General manager Alexis Hill was working on June 23 around 10 a.m. when a man approached the checkout counter to purchase a pair of hamburger buns.
The Muscogee County Coroner’s Office reports that the individual, identified as 33-year-old Jerome Willis, handed Hill two crumpled $1 bills, which would seem like a simple transaction. But the situation took a sinister turn as Hill straightened out the money.
An unhappy Willis decided at the moment to step aside, pull out a handgun, and shoot her.
Hill was pronounced dead at the scene around 10.45 am.
Following the murder, Willis fled the scene. Police located him about three hours after the initial incident, but he did not go quietly.
Willis ended up paying the ultimate price, but not before injuring a K-9 officer and a human police officer.
From the Daily Mail:
They gave him verbal demands, but when the suspect ‘did not comply’, officers released a K-9 officer to apprehend Willis.
As they did so, Willis again pulled out a gun and shot at the K-9 officer and others. In response, police fired several shots back, killing the gunman.
A Columbus Police Department (CPD) officer was treated at a hospital and later released. The police dog, named Havoc, was transported to a veterinary hospital before being airlifted to an emergency hospital, authorities said.
Havoc is now recovering from surgery after being sent home.
Hill leaves behind three children and two grandchildren.
Alexis Hill’s brother, Johnathan Hill, mourned her passing.
“She can’t be replaced,” he said. “It’s a loss that I’m going to have to deal with, and the family is going to have to deal with.”
WKRC reported that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the officer-involved shooting.
