Wontania Jermaine Hall Jr. was 26 when he was fatally shot inside a Wingate Avenue residence in Albany, Georgia, on the evening of October 12, 2020. A 14-year-old, D’Varri Canady, was also inside and died at the scene; both victims were struck by multiple bullets and pronounced dead by the Dougherty County Coroner.

Investigators reported numerous bullet holes in the front door and living room window and shell casings found outside near the window and inside the kitchen. Police said the gunfire appeared to have come from outside and described the incident as a drive-by shooting. Motive was not immediately established and police said they would explore whether the attack was gang-related.

Officers canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and evidence and a reward was offered for information leading to an arrest, but the case later grew cold. As of early 2024 the Albany Police Department confirmed the investigation remained open with no arrests and no suspects publicly identified.
