On the night of August 13, 2017, gunfire erupted at a Clay Homes apartment complex in Baxley, Georgia. Officers from the Baxley Police Department and the Appling County Sheriff’s Office found 54-year-old Freddie Joe King and two others shot. King died shortly after the incident; the other two victims, 60-year-old Evelyn McCal Williams and 45-year-old Shawn Mobley, were treated and transferred to Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah.

Investigators say the shooting followed an altercation at the apartment. Authorities identified 52-year-old Rodney Mobley of Baxley as the person who confronted the tenant and her guests and allegedly fired a small-caliber handgun, striking all three. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted at the scene. Rodney Mobley was later arrested and charged, including one count of murder for King’s death and multiple firearms and aggravated assault counts; legal proceedings are pending.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation that night or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
