Wydeldric Mel Denson was 26 when he was shot once in the abdomen inside his apartment on the 1900 block of Karen Circle in Milledgeville, Georgia, on the evening of August 9, 2019. He was taken to Navicent Health Baldwin hospital but died a short time later. Denson worked at a local industrial plant.

Milledgeville police identified and arrested three men in connection with the shooting. Xavier Rashad Chambers was accused of shooting Denson and was later indicted by a Baldwin County grand jury on four counts: malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Tremonte Boyer and Durrell Malik Roberson were charged as parties to the crime of murder; investigators believe Boyer and Roberson were with Chambers at the time. Roberson was described as a former detention officer with the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.

The community was left grieving while the accused awaited court proceedings. If anyone knew Denson or was in that neighborhood on the night of August 9, 2019, please share information that might help the case.
