In the early morning hours of July 18, 2022, shots were fired into the back of an apartment at Deer Run Apartments on Lucas Road in Cochran, Georgia. Two small brothers were in a bedroom; 2-year-old Yasir Satterwhite was fatally shot and his 4-year-old brother Tamir was wounded and taken to a Macon hospital for surgery, later reported in stable condition.

Investigators treated the incident as a targeted act of violence tied to retaliation from a prior incident, though it was uncertain whether the children or their family were the intended targets. The boys’ father said he believed the bullets were meant for him. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted the Bleckley County Sheriff’s Office.

Within weeks three Cochran men were arrested: 23-year-old Dahmon Jacquez Lemmon was charged with felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; 29-year-old Jaquiese Stephen Finley and 20-year-old Kamau Zyon Pasby were each charged as parties to the crime of murder and aggravated assault. More charges were possible as the investigation continued.

Did anyone in the Cochran area see or hear anything that night that could help the case?
