Ledarius Tremaine Clark was 28 when he was shot and killed on Pansy Avenue in Macon, Georgia, the evening of January 5, 2021. Bibb County sheriff’s deputies arrived just before 6 p.m. and found Clark with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene and his homicide became the city’s second of the year.

Investigators quickly focused on a suspect and within a day issued a warrant for 21-year-old Jasirian Kwame Thomas, releasing his photograph and asking the public for help locating him. The case later faltered: a cellphone believed central to the dispute was misplaced by the lead investigator, a key witness (Thomas’s mother) died before testifying, and other witnesses could not positively identify Thomas as the shooter. Prosecutors dismissed the murder charges in October 2025.

The investigation remains open and the family and community continue to seek answers. If anyone knew Ledarius, saw activity on Pansy Avenue that evening, or has information relevant to the shooting, please come forward.
