On the afternoon of Monday, January 22, 2018, 18-year-old Daylan Hall, a Black resident of Dublin, Georgia, was shot in the upper torso at the corner of Academy Avenue and Dudley Street after an argument. Responding officers performed CPR at the scene and Hall was taken to Fairview Park Hospital, where he later died. This was the city’s first homicide of 2018.

Officers nearby saw three men walking away from a wooded area minutes after the shooting. Brothers Willie Jackson and Sontavious Jackson were arrested soon after and charged with murder. The third man, identified as Kemon O'Neal, initially fled but was located and arrested later that evening and also charged with murder; authorities said O'Neal had a prior armed robbery arrest.
