Marques Smith, 35, was found guilty earlier this week for the murders of Craig and Desiree Thomas. Desiree and Smith had a teenage daughter from their previous relationship, according to a news release from the Newton County District Attorney’s Office.
The double murder happened on Sept. 11, 2022 when Desiree and Craig went to Smith’s home for a scheduled child custody exchange at 60 Pebble Lane. The news release stated that Smith then went to his vehicle and retrieved a firearm, shooting Craig and Desiree in front of his daughter.
Jack Redlinger from the Newton County Sheriff’s Office previously told The Covington News in a 2022 article that the couple tried to drive away but ultimately hit a mailbox. Craig was pronounced dead at the scene, while Desiree succumbed to her injuries in the ambulance while being transported.
