Rasheen Jasper, a 29-year-old Black man from Savannah, was killed on August 18, 2017, in a shooting at the Chatham City Apartments off Highway 21 in Garden City. He was sitting in a vehicle when two males opened fire, striking him in the chest. Jasper was taken for emergency treatment but died at the hospital. Garden City’s police chief described the slaying as a targeted assassination and investigators characterized the shooting as deliberate rather than random.

Police said the vehicle used by the shooters was a dark-colored Chevrolet Malibu, reported as either a 2015 or 2017 model with chrome around the wheel wells, and that the car Jasper was in had been stolen; officers did not believe the theft triggered the attack. By August 2019 the case remained unsolved, with investigators still seeking information and Jasper’s family pleading for answers. If anyone knew Rasheen, saw a dark Chevrolet Malibu near Chatham City Apartments that night, or has information about who left the scene, please come forward.
