LaMario Majors, 37, was shot during an altercation at a Rome, Georgia, residence on the night of July 25, 2018, and died of a chest gunshot wound on July 30, 2018 after five days in the hospital. Born April 3, 1981, in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, he worked for the Rome Housing Authority and is survived by his parents, several siblings, and two sons. Friends and family remembered him as a happy person who loved football and basketball and who would go the extra mile to help others.

Hours after the shooting, an 18-year-old man, Keilan Orr, was arrested based on witness testimony; he initially faced aggravated assault charges that were upgraded to felony murder, aggravated battery, and possession of a firearm in the commission of a crime after Majors died. Orr told investigators he acted in self-defense; a jury later convicted him of felony murder and firearm possession and returned a life sentence with an additional five years for the firearm charge. The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the conviction and sentence in August 2021.
