In the late hours of November 10, 2022, 17-year-old Jayne Salazar Chavez was shot and killed while sitting in a parked car outside her home in Decatur, Georgia. A junior at Towers High School, Jayne was recently crowned homecoming queen and served as group commander of her Air Force JROTC unit. She was in the car with 24-year-old Army soldier Brandon Lee Wilson, who was home on leave; Wilson suffered a leg wound but drove to a nearby gas station for help.

Authorities say the shooting followed a lover’s quarrel after Wilson became suspicious that Jayne was seeing another man and confronted him by phone. Later that night, 24-year-old Nakia Dunta Dorsey approached the vehicle, a red laser sight was reported on Wilson’s face, and a man dressed in black fired more than 20 rounds into the car. Jayne sustained fatal gunshot wounds to her arm and torso and was found dead inside the vehicle.

An anonymous tip plus analysis of social media messages and cell phone location data led investigators to identify Nakia Dunta Dorsey as the shooter; he was arrested on January 12, 2023, and charged with murder and aggravated assault. Did anyone in the community know Jayne, her circle of friends, or have information about that night?
