On the night of October 17, 2020, Jawaski Kennedy, a 28-year-old African American man, was killed in a drive-by shooting on the 700 block of West Highland Avenue in Albany, Georgia. Kennedy and 24-year-old Infintity Humphrey were walking to a vehicle at about 11:30 p.m. when a white sedan pulled up and an unknown number of occupants opened fire. Kennedy suffered fatal gunshot wounds; Humphrey was also struck and injured.

Albany Police processed the scene and spoke to witnesses, but no motive had been identified and officials have not publicly disclosed persons of interest, suspects, or arrests. Kennedy was recorded as the city’s 17th homicide victim that year. Very little else has been released about the attack or the investigation.
