On the evening of May 3, 2019, 18-year-old Avantia Henry was shot at a residence on Kristen Place in Covington, Georgia. Witnesses attempted to drive him to medical care rather than wait for an ambulance but had to stop on Highway 162, where Newton County deputies rendered aid. Henry was pronounced dead after arrival at a local hospital.

Investigators at the scene reported a suspect fleeing on foot. Authorities identified 18-year-old Jalyn Lashaud Colbert of Conyers, a visitor at the house who was known to Henry, and obtained a warrant. Colbert turned himself in on May 5 and was charged with murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and theft by taking. The prosecution said the shooting occurred during an attempt to steal Henry’s Glock pistol; the defense said there was no intent to kill.

Does anyone have information about the events at Kristen Place that night or about Henry’s movements earlier that evening?
