Javier Woods, described as a young African American man, was shot and killed on the night of September 14, 2018, in the 700 block of Pointe South Parkway in Jonesboro, Georgia. Reports say the shooting appeared to be a deliberate act of violence, but a specific motive was not immediately clear. The death had a significant impact on the local community.

The Clayton County Sheriff’s Office identified a primary suspect quickly. Joshua Doyle Holmes, 26, was named in connection with Woods’s murder and was placed on the sheriff’s top 10 most wanted list as armed and dangerous. Less than a day after the shooting, on September 15, 2018, deputies including the Fugitive Squad and SWAT located Holmes hiding at a residence on Grayson Drive in Riverdale and took him into custody without incident; he was jailed in Clayton County on murder charges.

If anyone knew Javier Woods, was in that area the night of September 14, 2018, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
