Authorities May Have Narrowed Down a Motive for Country Club Murder in Atlanta

An update on the  golf pro murdered at a country club in Atlanta over the weekend… Authorities think they may know a motive. Pro Golfer Gene Siller was among three men found dead at the Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw Georgia on Saturday. One of the men was identified as Paul Pierson and the other still remains unidentified. Siller was found unresponsive with an ‘apparent gunshot wound to the head’ and pronounced dead at the scene. Pierson and the other victim also suffered gunshot wounds. Investigators have yet to identify the suspect but are following leads to determine why the shooting occurred.

Yesterday, police said they believe Siller was killed ‘because he witnessed an active crime taking place.’ Police did not specify what the crime was but investigators have asked nearby residents to check their doorbell cameras for clues. According to a news release from the Cobb County Police Department “it does not appear that Siller was targeted.” The Pinetree Country Club reopened today but the 10th hole will remain closed.
