An 18-year-old, Jaquarious Benjamin, was fatally shot during an outdoor gathering on Dennis Street in Rochelle, Georgia, early on Sunday, March 17, 2019. The event was a celebration of what would have been his 19th birthday two days later. Benjamin was struck by a single, fatal gunshot; three other people were also injured.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the inquiry and identified two suspects from Rochelle: 20-year-old Marquavous Coley and his 17-year-old brother. Arrest warrants were issued and both were taken into custody; a Superior Court judge denied bond for each.

If anyone was at the Dennis Street gathering or has information about the rival group’s arrival and the sequence of events, please come forward.
