Justin Woodford, 16, was shot and killed in Fort Valley, Georgia, in the early morning of August 20, 2022. He was an African American teenager from nearby Perry and was found unresponsive in the 400 block of St. Luke’s Lane; he was pronounced dead at the scene around 5:45 AM from a gunshot wound.

Eyewitnesses said Woodford and a relative had been assaulted by three males at an apartment complex on Edward Street, near 1207 Edward Street, before the shooting. That confrontation escalated and led to the gunfire that killed him. Fort Valley police and EMS responded but life-saving measures were unsuccessful.

Investigators identified and arrested three men in connection with the altercation: Keyshon Williams and Daquan Williams, both charged with aggravated assault, and Daquavious Oliver, arrested about a week later and charged with aggravated assault as well. Does anyone have information about the events on Edward Street or the people involved that could help the investigation?
