Jaseramie Dion ’JD’ Ferguson was a 25-year-old loss prevention officer at a Walmart in Lilburn, Georgia, when he was shot and killed on the evening of April 10, 2016. Working to support his wife and three young children and hoping to become a police officer, he and another employee confronted a man they suspected of trying to leave the store with a shopping cart holding three unpaid flat-screen televisions. A physical struggle followed just past the first set of exit doors and the suspect produced a pistol and shot Ferguson. He was taken to a nearby medical center and died of his wounds.

Surveillance images led investigators to identify 37-year-old Boaz Anthony Fordyce. Less than 48 hours after the shooting he was located in Doraville and arrested without incident. Fordyce was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and felony theft by shoplifting; reports say he had no significant criminal history. Ferguson’s family remembered him as a devoted husband and father of strong faith.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation at the store or has information about the moments before the shooting, please come forward.
