Jeffrey Lee Raymond, a 34-year-old Black man from Statesboro, Georgia, was shot on March 9, 2018, at the Baymont Inn and Suites on South Main Street and later died at East Georgia Regional Medical Center. Reports say he was wounded on the fourth floor but managed to make it to the lobby before collapsing and being taken for treatment.

Police described an active homicide investigation focused on a hotel room and the route Raymond took after the shooting. Investigators identified 33-year-old Tai-ri Darnell Crocker of Lithia Springs as a suspect; authorities warned he was armed and dangerous and later announced he had been captured in South Carolina and extradited to Bulloch County. Early charging documents reportedly included murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of a crime, and aggravated assault.

Does anyone have memories of that morning at the Baymont Inn or information that could help clarify what happened?
