On the evening of December 30, 2021, 33-year-old Leterik Lee Johenkins was standing outside a home at 114 North Oak Street in Ocilla, Georgia, when a drive-by shooting killed him and wounded another man, James White. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said the attack that killed Johenkins occurred only minutes after shots were fired at Shane Clowers at a Citgo on North Irvin Avenue; Clowers was not hit.

Investigators later linked those shootings to a carjacking and shooting in Douglas. Authorities identified Johnny C. Martin Jr., 36, of Ocilla, as the suspected shooter; he was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head in a vehicle after a chase into Nicholls, and investigators said they suspected the wound was self-inflicted. With the person identified as the suspected shooter deceased, no arrest or later trial for Johenkins’s killing had been reported.

Anyone who knew Leterik Johenkins or who has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
