Middleton reportedly snuck into the home in the Grovetown neighborhood around 2:47 a.m. with the aid of the 14-year old girl. The incident quickly turned deadly, after the young teen’s father heard noises and the family dog’s aggressive barking. After grabbing his gun, the father, who has now been identified as Derrick Fulton, began to search the house for an intruder. Fulton initially called out that he was armed and demanded that the intruder show himself, but no one answered, according to authorities. The dog then led him to the guest bedroom, where Fulton entered. As the homeowner yelled out another warning, Middleton reportedly ran out of the guest bedroom closet, causing Fulton to fire his weapon.

No charges have been brought to the Fulton family at this time.
