A double shooting on Christmas Eve 2022 left two families grieving in Columbus, Georgia. On December 24, 2022, gunfire in the 1600 block of Baker Plaza Drive struck 18-year-old Jewel Dantzler and 24-year-old Tamareious Miller. Miller was pronounced dead at 2:25 a.m. that morning. Dantzler, a musician who attended Hardaway High School and who enjoyed spending time with friends and family, was found in critical condition, placed on life support and declared brain dead after four days. He was kept on life support so his organs could be donated and was pronounced clinically deceased on December 28, 2022.

Both victims were sent for autopsy as the investigation began, but authorities have not released details about the circumstances of the shooting or any suspects. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open. If anyone has information about the Baker Plaza Drive shooting or knew Jewel, please contact investigators.
