De’onta Trowel-Mosteller, 26, was shot dead behind an apartment building at the Pinewood Manor complex on Packinghouse Road in Statesboro, Georgia, on the evening of April 23, 2022. Officers responding shortly before 7 p.m. found him with fatal gunshot wounds. Trowel-Mosteller was a 2015 Statesboro High School graduate, had attended Georgia Southern University, and was a student at Ogeechee Technical College. He was father to four sons.

Investigators identified 32-year-old Chaz Burgest on surveillance video leaving the scene; management at Pinewood Manor cooperated in the inquiry. An arrest warrant was issued April 25, 2022, and Burgest turned himself in on April 26, 2022, when the firearm believed to have been used was also recovered. At trial jurors acquitted Burgest of malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault but convicted him of voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during a felony; a judge imposed a 25-year sentence with credit for time served since April 26, 2022.

Did anyone in the Statesboro area see or hear anything the evening of April 23, 2022, that could shed more light on what happened?
