On the evening of June 22, 2017, 16-year-old Nicholas Griffin was attending a birthday party on Jonathan Court in Augusta, Georgia, when a red car pulled up and gunfire broke out. Nicholas was struck in the hip, taken to a nearby medical center, underwent surgery, and died early the next morning.

Authorities identified three young suspects in the case: 17-year-old Devonte M. Gavin, 19-year-old Trevon D. Crump, and 17-year-old Keonte E. Hall. Investigators concluded the shooting was gang-related retaliation; Gavin had sought revenge against someone at the party and Nicholas was not the intended target but was killed in the crossfire.

At trial in August 2022 witnesses who had earlier been reluctant to testify came forward and the jury convicted all three on multiple charges, including felony and malice murder. Gavin and Crump were sentenced to life without parole plus 35 years; Hall received life with the possibility of parole plus 35 years.

Did anyone who knew Nicholas or was at that party come forward with information that helped the case?
