A dispute over a misplaced travel bag ended in violence in Fayetteville, Georgia, in the summer of 2020. On July 31, 2020, 38-year-old Joshua Kellam dropped his 10-year-old daughter off with her mother, Dawn Harmon, and her husband, Jermaine Harmon. The next day Kellam realized he had left a bag with important legal and personal documents in his daughter’s luggage and made repeated attempts to retrieve it — calls, texts, and visits to the Harmon home, including at least one visit accompanied by law enforcement, without success.

On the evening of August 1, 2020, Kellam returned and knocked at the door. He was met by Jermaine Harmon, who was armed with a .40-caliber Glock pistol; an altercation followed and Kellam was fatally shot. Investigators reported a contentious history between Kellam and Dawn Harmon and noted a recent court ruling that had favored Kellam on visitation.

Both Jermaine and Dawn Harmon were subsequently arrested. Jermaine Harmon was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; Dawn Harmon was charged with making false statements and tampering with evidence after investigators said she had lied about the bag’s contents and shredded documents. If anyone knew Joshua or has information about his final visits with his daughter, please share what you know.
