Anthony Wright, 21, was fatally shot in Albany, Georgia, on July 11, 2017, after a dispute that began on Facebook. Reports say the violence escalated when Wright moved to defend his sister during a violent altercation that grew out of the online interaction.

Wright was a Catapult Academy graduate who had been voted most likely to succeed and was preparing to enlist in the U.S. Army like his father. His mother, Cathy Jones, spent years pressing for progress in the investigation and says the family finally obtained a resolution in 2021; public details about suspects, arrests, or court outcomes have not been widely disclosed.

There was early public confusion with other Albany homicide reports involving people named Wright, but those incidents were separate and not related to Anthony Wright’s death. Does anyone have information about the July 11, 2017 shooting or remember seeing anything that could help his family?
