On the evening of May 30, 2019, a neighbor dispute on Hardy Avenue in Rome, Georgia, ended with the fatal shooting of 74-year-old Johnny Lewis Price, an African-American man. According to witnesses, Price and 46-year-old Wallace Junior Chambers Jr. had two separate arguments that night; after the second confrontation Chambers left briefly, returned with a firearm, and shot Price multiple times. First responders found Price on the ground near a gold truck; he was taken to a local hospital and died later that evening.

Rome Police quickly identified Chambers as the suspect. He fled the area, leading to warrants charging him with felony murder and aggravated assault and a search that included the U.S. Marshals Service. A few days later, on June 4, 2019, Chambers turned himself in to the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office. If anyone witnessed the events on Hardy Avenue that night or has information about the dispute, please share what is known.
