On the evening of March 15, 2017, in Swainsboro, Georgia, 41-year-old Tyrone Cochran Junior was seated in his car on Longview Road when a drive-by shooting struck him. He died en route to the hospital. Emanuel County authorities investigated the case, which quickly drew intense local attention.

Authorities arrested 24-year-old Darcy Thompson as the prime suspect. Investigators presented a motive tied to a romantic triangle: both Cochran and Thompson were romantically involved with the same woman, Hikeara Clark, and testimony at trial described repeated threats Cochran allegedly made against Thompson and a pattern of confrontations between the two men.

Thompson was tried and convicted of felony murder; his lawyers had argued for voluntary manslaughter based on harassment and threats by Cochran, but that theory was rejected by the court. Does anyone who knew Tyrone or was in Swainsboro in 2017 have information about his movements that night?
