A late-night shooting on Torch Hill Road in Columbus, Georgia, left two teenagers dead and a third wounded. On August 31, 2022, around 11:30 p.m., 18-year-old Anton Hamilton was struck in a volley of gunfire in the 2001 block of Torch Hill Road. Also hit were 17-year-old Myshaun Smith and 18-year-old Steven Copeland. First responders found one victim already deceased; Smith died just after midnight at Piedmont Columbus Regional and Hamilton was pronounced dead shortly after at 12:46 p.m. that same day.

Copeland survived and was taken into surgery for non-life-threatening injuries. The Columbus Police Department opened an active investigation into the double homicide, but in the days after the shooting authorities did not identify suspects or announce arrests. Few details about what precipitated the shooting have been released.

If anyone has information about the Torch Hill Road shooting or knew Anton Hamilton, please share what you know with investigators.
