Sheriff: Man killed motorcyclist who followed daughters

Bogart — A man is facing a murder charge after authorities say he shot and killed a motorcyclist who followed his daughters home from a department store.

Richard Harold Gear, 45, claimed he was acting in self-defense when he shot Bryan Joseph Mough around 6:45 p.m. Monday as Mough drove his motorcycle past Gear's house, Oconee County Sheriff Scott Berry said.

The daughters, ages 17 and 19, had called their father on a cell phone to tell him they were being followed, Berry said. As they arrived home, Gear was waiting at the end of his driveway with a pistol, Berry said.

Mough, 21, drove past the house, turned around and made another pass. Gear fired his .40-caliber semiautomatic gun two or three times, hitting Mough once in the back, Berry said.

Gear called 911 after the shooting, as did neighbors, and sheriff's deputies arrested Gear on a murder charge, Berry said.

"He made an unspecified claim of self-defense," Berry said.

Mough was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Gear's daughters and Mough apparently left the parking lot of a Target in nearby Athens around the same time Monday evening, Berry said. Tempers flared as the drivers headed west toward Bogart.

Gear's daughters told investigators Mough cut them off, they made obscene gestures at him and Mough ran into their car at one point, Sheriff Berry said.

"There is evidence of a collision between Mough's motorcycle and the vehicle operated by Gear's daughters," Berry said, adding authorities do not yet know who initiated contact.

"We've got questions about how it happened," he said.

Investigators went to Target for witnesses and looked at surveillance videos but found nothing to indicate Mough met the girls inside the store or in the parking lot, Berry said.

but wait, there's more!

Bogart man indicted in cyclist slaying

Father faces murder charges

An Oconee County grand jury on Friday indicted a Bogart man on murder charges, accusing him of shooting a motorcyclist he said was threatening his daughters.

Jurors returned a six-count indictment Friday charging Richard Harold "Ricky" Gear with malice murder and felony murder and other charges in the February shooting of 21-year-old Bryan Joseph "B.J." Mough of Winder.

Also on Friday, Lawton Stephens, chief judge of the Western Judicial Circuit, denied Gear's request for bond.

"The court is unable to find that the defendant poses no significant threat or danger to the community," Lawton said in his order.

Gear, 45, has been in the Oconee County Jail since Feb. 25, the night he shot Mough as the motorcyclist drove by his house on Gear Road, on the fringe of downtown Bogart.

Mough followed Gear's two daughters to their home after one of them flashed an obscene gesture and later sideswiped Mough's motorcycle, authorities said.

Witnesses testified at a preliminary hearing last month that Samantha and Chelsea Gear already had parked their car in the driveway of their home when Mough arrived.

Ricky Gear fired his gun a few times as Mough drove past, and shot at Mough once in the back after the biker made a second pass, witnesses testified.

The damage to the Gear sisters' car wasn't consistent with their original story that Mough intentionally rammed them, officials said.

The sisters admitted during the preliminary hearing that Mough didn't drive into their car.

And there were no tire tracks or other evidence to support Gear's claim that Mough tried to run over him as he drove past Gear's home the second time, authorities have said.

In addition to murder, the grand jury charged Gear with aggravated assault and three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

An arraignment date for Gear has not been scheduled.

So the girls lied and an innocent man had to die. I would really think they should be charged along with their father.

Good find, but some one found it first.

Hopefully they'll feel the pain when their dad gets 25 to life for murder.
