Malik Jamal Golden was 18 when he was shot and later died from multiple gunshot wounds after being found July 31, 2021, at the Harbor Rain apartment complex on Saunders Avenue in Hinesville, Georgia. He was not a resident of the complex and was taken first to Liberty Regional Medical Center, then transferred to Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Hinesville Police identified three suspects and made arrests in August 2021: 19-year-old Jeremiah Traylor on August 9, 20-year-old Morieo Austin in Garden City on August 10 with U.S. Marshals’ help, and 18-year-old Naiseam Ward of Savannah on August 23. In June 2022 a grand jury indicted Austin, Traylor, and Ward in connection with Golden’s murder. Court outcomes included a guilty verdict and prison sentence for one defendant and guilty pleas with sentences for the others.

Did anyone in the Hinesville or Savannah area have information about Malik’s movements the night of July 31, 2021?
