Gary Jeffries, 45, was found shot to death in the backyard of a Mercer Street residence in Albany, Georgia, during the early morning of August 11, 2018. Investigators determined he had been shot once in the back. Authorities described two unknown Black males as suspects and said handguns were believed to have been used.

Police canvassed the neighborhood and appealed to the public but reported frustration with a lack of cooperative witnesses and few leads. The shooting was not thought to be gang-related, and it remained one of only two unsolved homicides in the city that year. Anyone with information was asked to contact CrimeStoppers to remain anonymous.

Did anyone in the Albany area see or hear anything that night, or know these two men?
