On the evening of August 14, 2018, Alpeshkumar Prajapati, a 36-year-old convenience store clerk, was fatally shot during an armed robbery at the Gulf Food Mart on Napier Avenue in Macon, Georgia. Prajapati was behind the counter when two people entered, demanded money, and during the robbery he was shot; he was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office identified and arrested three suspects within weeks: 17-year-old Jeremy Jerome Kendrick Jr., 16-year-old Arie Calloway, and 28-year-old Vernon Bernard Ashley Jr., each charged with murder and armed robbery. A sheriff’s investigator testified at a court hearing that Calloway had confessed, saying he shot Prajapati after the clerk could not open a safe.

Anyone who knew Prajapati, worked at Gulf Food Mart, or has information about the robbery is asked to share what they know.
