Jeremy Alexander Brookins, 30, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of March 10, 2019, in a violent ambush outside the Hampton Inn in Waycross, Georgia. Police say the shooting happened around 3:30 a.m. in the hotel parking lot and pool area after reports of people with guns chasing others; Brookins was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead soon after. Another man, 29-year-old Dewayne Lamont Scott, was also shot inside the hotel and survived.

Brookins was reportedly part of an entourage for Jacksonville rapper Yungeen Ace, who had performed locally that night. Family members, including his mother Veronica Dixon-Brookins, said they believe he was not the intended target and was caught in a feud; she described attackers using high-powered rifles and said he died trying to understand what was happening. Several men from Jacksonville were later arrested on gun, drug and related charges, and one report named a Mark Johnson, 26, charged as party to murder, but Waycross police said they had leads without identifying hard suspects directly responsible for the killing.

Brookins is survived by his mother and four daughters, one born after his death. Did anyone in the Waycross or Jacksonville area witness the events that night or have information about who fired the shots?
