On January 26, 2019, 22-year-old Julian Kani Thomas was found inside a residence on Garland Avenue in Waycross, Georgia, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to Memorial Satilla Health Medical Center and died of his injuries. Responding officers linked the shooting to a family member when Julian’s brother, Myron Thomas, was identified as the primary suspect.

A few hours after the shooting police received a report of a stolen Chevrolet from a Folks Street home; the vehicle was seen being driven away and later crashed into a fence. Around 5 a.m. in Manor, Georgia, Myron had mechanical trouble with that vehicle and was given a ride to Homerville. Residents there, having learned about the Waycross killing, alerted authorities. Officers from Homerville and the Clinch County Sheriff’s Office located Myron, who tried to flee on foot and was caught. Investigators recovered the stolen vehicle’s keys and a handgun reported stolen in Columbus in November. Myron Thomas was charged with murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

Did anyone in the area see the stolen Chevrolet the night of January 26 or have information about the events at the Garland Avenue residence?
