Brandon Goodwin, 37, was shot and killed in Fort Valley, Georgia, on the evening of Saturday, May 14, 2022. Officers responding to a reported shooting in the 1100-block of Edward Street found Goodwin with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. He was taken to Atrium Health Navicent Peach and later pronounced dead by the Peach County Coroner; an autopsy was scheduled at the GBI Crime Lab.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect and sought 26-year-old Tyler Jones on warrants for murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Jones was arrested on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, by the U.S. Marshals and the Fort Valley Police Department. A second arrest followed when Quentel Jones, Tyler’s brother and a Peach County defensive lineman who had signed with the University of Kentucky, was charged with battery in connection with Goodwin’s death. Both men were booked into the Peach County Jail and the case moved into the court system.

Does anyone have information about Goodwin, the incident on Edward Street, or the lead-up to that night?
