On February 22, 2021, 36-year-old Keith Tyson Basham, a White/Caucasian man, was found dead at a residence on Hilltop Drive in Buchanan, Georgia. Deputies were first dispatched for a possible cardiac arrest but the medical examiner determined Basham died from gunshot wounds and ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect, 24-year-old Jalen Shakur Biggs of South Carolina, who was located and arrested there the same day and extradited to Haralson County. At trial prosecutors introduced surveillance footage from two angles showing Basham remaining in his carport while Biggs approached from the road, produced a handgun, and fired twice, striking Basham in the torso. The video contradicted a 911 call Biggs made later claiming self-defense.

A jury found Biggs guilty of malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault after less than an hour of deliberation; he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Did anyone in Buchanan recognize Basham or have information about him or that evening?
