Arrests in Elderly Home Invasion Murder

Lawrenceville police arrested and charged two men Friday in the killing of an 85-year-old man shot during an alleged home invasion.

Lawrenceville police identified the pair as Alan Smith, 29, and David Botto, 35. Smith is charged with burglary and murder and Botto is charged with burglary, murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Hubert Massey was killed Saturday after the intruders forced open the back door of his home.

The World War II veteran exchanged gunfire with the intruders. There was no word Friday if either suspect arrested had been wounded.

Massey's 84-year-old wife, Geneva, was sleeping when the shots were fired. A neighbor called police after Geneva Massey opened her front door and yelled for help as the suspects escaped.

Massey was shot twice in the chest and once in the arm, family spokesman Craig Helf said previously.
