Who is Joey Fournier?
52-year-old Joey Fournier was charged with killing his ex-girlfriend Cynthia Berry.
It happened in February of 2022, in the Barrington Hall subdivision in Macon.
Neighbors of the subdivision say it was Berry's first home, and remember how excited she was to have her own place. However, they say she only lived there for a month.
At the time of the murder, her family told 13WMAZ, she moved into the place to get away from Fournier.
Berry filed a protective order against him in 2021, but in early 2022, Fournier allegedly strangled the victim to death, in her new home on Winchester Place.
On the night of the murder, the Bibb County dispatchers didn't send a deputy until 14 minutes after the 911 call was made. The Sheriff's office says it took them at least 27 minutes to respond.
Before BSO arrived at the scene, Berry's brother found her body inside the home.
Investigators say after the murder, Fournier got his brother to drive him to Rome, Georgia where he was arrested the day after Berry's death.
