Bobby Jerome Seawright Jr. was a 25-year-old Columbus, Georgia man whose life ended on December 17, 2016. A Columbus High School graduate nearing a degree in sports medicine at Georgia Southern University, he is remembered by family and his church community for warmth and promise. Reports say he was found shot beside his running car in the Branton Woods area that night and police searched for a gunman at the scene.

Within days an arrest was publicly reported: a 16-year-old identified as James Oliver was charged in Seawright’s fatal shooting and was said to have pleaded not guilty in Columbus Recorder’s Court where he was held without bond.

Did anyone in the Branton Woods area on December 17, 2016, see or hear anything that could help explain what happened that night?
