Terreon Deontae Nunne Joseph was 17 when he was shot dead on 32nd Avenue in Columbus, Georgia, on October 7, 2019. The shooting occurred around 11 p.m.; Joseph and an 18-year-old friend, Montrell Johnson, were both pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds.

Columbus police identified 19-year-old Rayshondre Tarver as a suspect and charged him with two counts of felony murder. Tarver’s defense later said he acted in self-defense, claiming Joseph and Johnson were attempting to rob him and that one of them had a jammed handgun. By December 2021 the case reached a legal resolution: Tarver was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading or being convicted on lesser charges related to the double homicide; the specific convictions were not detailed publicly.

Does anyone have information about the events on 32nd Avenue that night or about Joseph’s life in Columbus that could help clarify what happened?
