In the early morning hours of a November Sunday in 2017, a silver 2004 Buick LeSabre was found after striking two electrical poles on the 600 block of York Street in Valdosta, Georgia. First responders arrived about 1:11 a.m. and discovered two occupants dead in the vehicle: 26-year-old Clarence Brandon Burnett Jr., an African American male, and 19-year-old Geneva Norwood. The scene was first thought to be a single-vehicle crash, but autopsy and further examination showed both victims had suffered gunshot wounds, and the investigation was reclassified as a double homicide.

Detectives from the Valdosta Police Department’s Investigative Bureau and crime scene technicians processed the scene, and the vehicle and victims were taken to the crime lab for autopsy and analysis. Police later said preliminary findings suggested the incident may have been drug-related after an examination of the car. By December investigators had identified a person of interest, though no name or charges were released and no arrests have been announced. The case is now considered cold.

If anyone knew Clarence, Geneva, or their movements that night, can you share information that might help investigators?
