Lavonta Milton Thomas was 26 when he died following a shooting in Columbus, Georgia. He was born April 10, 1991, accepted Christ at 16 and attended Jordan High School. Thomas died at Midtown Medical Center on Monday, May 1, 2017.

The case remained publicly unresolved for nearly three years until March 13, 2020, when Labrandon Brown was arrested and charged in connection with the 2017 shooting. By December 2021 Brown had been jailed for more than 600 days without an indictment from the Muscogee County grand jury; a judge denied release on bond under certain conditions but reduced bail from $175,000 to $125,000. Prosecutors said the delay was tied to the Columbus Police Department’s time processing evidence.

Does anyone have information about Thomas’s life, the days around May 1, 2017, or details that could help clarify what happened?
