On December 13, Conyers police arrested Thi Sheik Barrow of Snellville; Barrow was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Both were held at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond as proceedings continued.

The arrests answered who was in custody, but the exact sequence of events that led to Hall’s death remains to be established through the legal process. If anyone has information about Taijuan Hall, the incident that evening, or the people involved, please come forward.
