In the early morning hours of a June day in 2017 in Gainesville, Georgia, 24-year-old Cornelius Gordon was shot in the head while sitting inside a Toyota Camry outside a mobile home on Barnes Drive where a party was taking place. Gordon, who was attending the party but not a resident of the mobile home, was taken by friends to Northeast Georgia Medical Center and later died of his injuries.

The Hall County Sheriff’s Office identified 24-year-old Delwoun Quintess Williams as a person of interest and arrested him initially on an outstanding probation warrant. Williams was later charged in connection with Gordon’s death; a September grand jury indictment included counts of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, terroristic acts, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and participation in criminal street gang activity, and investigators said the shooting was gang-related. The prosecution reported the murder weapon was recovered buried in local red clay.

Anyone who attended the party or who has information about the shooting, the vehicle, or the events that night is asked to come forward.
