On the late evening of May 13, 2021, 20-year-old Travis Isreal Edwards Jr. was shot at the Bricktowne Flats apartment complex on Peach Tree Drive in Savannah, Georgia. Officers found Edwards with gunshot wounds around 9:45 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital and later died from his injuries.

Investigators identified three young suspects who allegedly arranged to buy drugs from Edwards and then carried out an armed robbery. Sixteen-year-old Terry Rucker III and 17-year-old Harold Jakarius Roberson were arrested and charged with murder; Vaquez Coleman was also implicated. At trial a jury convicted Rucker and Roberson of felony murder but acquitted them of malice murder. Coleman was acquitted of murder charges but convicted on a drug-related count.

Sentences were imposed: Rucker and Roberson received life terms with the possibility of parole; Coleman received five years for a felony marijuana conviction with no parole. A victim impact statement from Edwards’ mother was read at sentencing. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Travis and can help fill gaps in the timeline?
