Jyleel Decovas Solomon, 23, was killed on November 6, 2017, in Milledgeville, Georgia, after being struck in the head during a shootout. Solomon was a passenger in a car with three other people; the group opened fire in a drive-by shooting at a man standing outside a residence, and that man returned fire. Solomon was taken toward a hospital by the vehicle’s occupants, stopped at a gas station to seek help from a law enforcement officer, and then transported to a hospital where he died.

Although Solomon was killed by return fire, the three other occupants of the car were charged under Georgia’s felony murder doctrine because his death occurred in the commission of the drive-by shooting. Malik Taylor and Jemerius Goodman were convicted of felony murder and other offenses; Taylor received a life sentence and Goodman received life plus 60 years. The matter involving the 15-year-old passenger was handled in juvenile court.

Are there details about the stop at the gas station or the shots fired that anyone in the Milledgeville area can help clarify?
