On December 31, 2019, 29-year-old Cody Robinson was fatally shot in Adel, Georgia, in an incident that also killed 34-year-old Quinten Payne near 305 N. Adams Street. The Adel Police Department responded to a 911 call; Payne was found dead at the scene and Robinson was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to assist and autopsies were scheduled at the GBI Medical Examiner’s Office in Macon to determine final causes of death.

By February 2020 arrest warrants had been issued charging multiple suspects: 19-year-old Shamar Wilson, 17-year-old Gerome Pickett, and a 16-year-old juvenile were each charged with two counts of felony murder and two counts of aggravated assault. Wilson and Pickett were already in the Lowndes County jail on unrelated charges when the warrants issued; the juvenile was taken into custody. In May 2020 a fourth person, 19-year-old Tavares Askew, was arrested and charged with the same counts and was being held in the Baldwin County Jail. The investigation is described as active and ongoing.

Does anyone have information about the scene on N. Adams Street that night or about Robinson’s movements prior to the shooting?
