Jabrell Jerome Buggs, a 38-year-old Black man from Atlanta, was killed in the early morning hours of May 25, 2022, after an argument at a home on Forrest Lake Drive south of Fayetteville, Georgia. Deputies were called about 1:50 a.m. to check on a verbal altercation; when they arrived Buggs was found in the front yard, dead from an apparent gunshot wound. The shooting was treated as a homicide.

Authorities quickly focused on one man and, not long after the killing, took 43-year-old Steven Andre Beacham of Douglasville into custody without incident. Multiple agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service and local partners, assisted in the capture. Beacham was charged with felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with Buggs’ death. Very little public detail is available about what sparked the dispute or the relationship between Buggs and people at the home.

If anyone knew Jabrell Buggs, was at that Forrest Lake Drive address that night, or has information about the argument, please share what is known.
