HENRY COUNTY, Ga. - A Henry County man has been sentenced to life in prison for killing his child’s mother outside of a McDonough grocery store, according to Megan L. Matteucci, the spokeswoman for the Henry County District Attorney's Office.
Teddy McNeil Jr., 31, pled guilty to malice murder, felony murder and aggravated assault Tuesday in Superior Court.
