Georgia Man Charged After 911 Call Confirms He Shot Wife and Daughter

Released dispatcher recordings include the suspect’s own admission plus a witness 911 call that detail an elder-care dispute which could shape pretrial proceedings.

Overview

  • Walton County deputies arrested 63-year-old Ralph Mincey at the scene and charged him with two counts of murder and weapons-related offenses; he is being held without bond.
  • In newly released 911 audio, Mincey tells dispatchers he shot his daughter and wife, says he “lost it,” and describes using a 9mm firearm to shoot his daughter in the head.
  • Amanda McBrayer’s husband told dispatch that he witnessed the shooting, reported that Mincey shot his wife in the head, and said he fled to protect his two children.
  • Authorities say Amanda McBrayer was pronounced dead at the Gauntt Road residence in Oxford, Georgia, and her mother, Jennifer Lynn Mincey, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital where she later died.
  • The case has prompted a local GoFundMe for the victims’ children and will move into formal pretrial steps as investigators and prosecutors review the 911 recordings and other evidence.
