Jacob Muse: Arrest in connection with triple murder at Georgia shooting range

Jacob Christian Muse, 21, faces three counts of “malicious murder” in the April 8 shooting at the Lock Stock & Barrel shooting range, according to a statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the ATF and the Grantville Police Department.

It is unclear whether Muse had a lawyer since Friday. He is in Coweta County Jail, authorities said.

The victims include landfill owner Tommy Hawke, his wife Evelyn – both 75 – and their 17-year-old grandson Luke, according to officials. They were all shot in the family business, authorities said.

The bodies were found by Coweta County Coroner Richard Hawke, the couple’s son and Luke’s father, according to police.

Authorities said the suspect also stole a firearm cache from a shooting range about 50 miles southwest of Atlanta.
