Charles Vinson, 23, was reported missing on April 27, 2021. Five days later his body was found in the 2900 block of Julia Law Street and the case was treated as a homicide.

Police work by the Savannah Police Department, with assistance from the Chatham County Police Department, identified four people connected to the case. Arrests in May and June 2021 included 27-year-old Marquis Raquel Parrish; 26-year-old Carlos Tyriek Roundtree, who was already jailed on unrelated matters and was charged with tampering with evidence and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; 22-year-old Aalyiah Nycole Jahnique Duncan; and 24-year-old Javaris Jevon Roundtree, all facing murder-related charges as of those arrests.

In June 2023 the state dropped all charges against Marquis Parrish, with a motion saying his account was found to be truthful and the state could not prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. The motion noted the lead detective was reportedly under investigation. Parrish had maintained he never knew Vinson before his arrest.

Does anyone have information about Charles Vinson or his movements in late April 2021?
