Valentine's murder suspects indicted

By Ken Stanford Contributing Editor
GAINESVILLE - Three people - including the victim's wife - have been indicted in the Valentine's Day murder of a Snellville man at a Hall County Park.

District Attorney Lee Darragh confirmed the indictments Friday but would not comment on whether he has decided to seek the death penalty.

Stacey Schoeck and Reginald Coleman and Lynitra Ross, both of Acworth, were arrested May 25.

The trio is accused of killing Schoeck, who was found Valentine's night, shot several times at Belton Bridge Park in East Hall County.

All three are scheduled for a preliminary hearing next Friday.

Arrest warrants say Coleman shot the 45-year-old Schoeck repeatedly.

Stacey Schoeck reported, at the time, that she found her husband's body at the park when she arrived for a pre-arranged meeting. Col. Jeff Strickland of the Hall County Sheriff's Office said she had been a "person of interest" in the case since the beginning of the investigation.
