In the early morning hours of May 27, 2022, 22-year-old Jacquerius Holland was shot and killed on North Hill Street in Griffin, Georgia. Holland, a cosmetology student at Southern Crescent Technical College who was working toward opening his own barbershop and cutting hair on the side, was struck twice in the upper body when a silver vehicle passed his car and fired multiple shots. He managed to stop his vehicle, walked to the front of it, and collapsed on the pavement; the suspect vehicle fled the scene. Investigators later concluded he had been stalked by his attackers before the shooting.

Spalding County authorities treated the slaying as gang-related despite Holland having no gang affiliations. Arrest warrants were obtained and on June 10, 2022 two suspects were taken into custody: 17-year-old Demoni Lamar Beck and 20-year-old Jadaquis DeAndre Noble. Both were charged with murder and aggravated assault. In May 2024 a jury convicted Beck of murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; Beck received life without parole plus five years. The jury was deadlocked as to Noble, resulting in a mistrial; a retrial was planned.

If anyone knew Jacquerius, saw him the night of May 27, 2022, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
