Reward increased in Home Depot slaying

MORROW - Authorities are offering a $50,000 reward to track down the killer of an armored car guard shot during a robbery at a Home Depot in Clayton County.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Clayton County police and Dunbar Armored Inc. increased the reward Monday from $35,000 to $50,000 for the identification and arrest of the killer of Dunbar driver, Lisa Ann Smith.

Smith, 32, was fatally shot Nov. 8, 2001, at a Home Depot in Morrow. According to officials, Smith had made a delivery at the store around 1:50 p.m. and was returning to her truck with a bag containing an undisclosed amount of money and checks.

A man approached her inside the store and opened fire grabbing Smith's bag and running out the back door.

Investigators are appealing to the public because the 7-month search has produced ``nothing good,'' said Special Agent Jeff Holmes, a spokesman for the FBI in Atlanta.

Smith's was the second fatal shooting at the store in four months. In July, Home Depot workers Tiffani Busch and Lisa Atkins were killed when Atkins' boyfriend, Brandon Bolton, went on a shooting spree inside the store, then shot himself.
