Eighteen-year-old Javion Shorter was shot at the Ballard Way Apartments in Columbus, Georgia, on November 17, 2017, and died of his wounds two days later at Midtown Medical Center. A senior at Kendrick High School and a father to a young daughter, Shorter’s death left family and the community grieving.

Within weeks investigators arrested three teenagers in connection with the killing: 19-year-old Nashira Miller, 19-year-old Daijon Williams, and a 17-year-old named Javon McClendon. They made initial appearances in Recorders Court and were later listed on the Muscogee County Superior Court criminal docket; court filings from August 2022 show murder and aggravated assault charges remained pending.

If anyone knew Javion, his routines, or has information about what happened that night, please share what can help the investigation.
