Forrest Alexander Kibler, 25, a Georgia Southern University student, was shot dead on the evening of November 4, 2016, at the Park Place Apartments on Lanier Drive in Statesboro, Georgia. What began as a plan to buy marijuana reportedly ended in a robbery that left Kibler fatally wounded by a gunshot.

Investigators identified two suspects from Guyton, Georgia. Four days after the killing, 24-year-old Jamontea Marquil Pitts was arrested in Chatham County and charged with murder. A second suspect, 19-year-old Ashton Marquise King, was arrested on November 16, 2016, on the same charge. Both men were indicted on multiple counts, including malice murder and felony murder.

At trial a police-interview video was shown in which Pitts said King shot Kibler during a struggle after an attempted robbery. King was later found not guilty of all charges in April 2019. In July 2021 a Bulloch County jury convicted Pitts of malice murder; he received life without parole plus five consecutive years for firearm possession. Who actually fired the fatal shot remains officially unresolved. Anyone with information about Forrest or that night is asked to come forward.
