Mr. Pickett was on his way home to Cloudland, Ga., with two of his children after taking them to a fall festival at Brainerd Baptist School. He apparently had some kind of run-in with another driver on Highway 2A near Ridgeland High School. The other vehicle apparently tailgated him from there and it continued as they turned onto Highway 193, going south. Mr. Pickett stopped his truck in the middle of the highway near High Point. He walked back toward the other vehicle and was shot four times. His 6-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter were in the vehicle when the shooting happened.
