On a November evening in 2020 in Warner Robins, Georgia, 18-year-old Jamaal Smith was shot and later died at a hospital after a marijuana deal went wrong. Smith had gone with Terrence Rouse and two others to an apartment complex to buy marijuana. The two friends present later identified Rouse as the shooter.

Rouse was indicted on multiple charges, including three counts of felony murder, and tried in the Superior Court of Houston County. He was found guilty on the felony murder counts; one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon was nolle prossed. The court sentenced Rouse to life in prison with the possibility of parole for one count, with other counts merged. An appeal arguing insufficient evidence and ineffective trial counsel was rejected by the Supreme Court of Georgia, which affirmed the conviction and sentence.

If anyone knew Jamaal, was at the apartment complex that night, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
