On the evening of December 16, 2015, 22-year-old Darwyn Jaleel Taylor was found shot to death inside a car parked outside an apartment complex on Riverland Drive in Columbus, Georgia. Emergency services pronounced him dead at the scene and local law enforcement opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators identified and arrested four suspects: 16-year-old Kenjerald Jordan and 20-year-old Dantrell Sims were among the first taken into custody and charged with murder; later, 20-year-old Jaleel Merritt and 19-year-old Jacorion Gary were also charged in connection with the shooting. Authorities allege Taylor was the intended target and that a violent altercation escalated, with the suspects believed to have had previous interactions with him. All four entered not guilty pleas at their initial court appearances.

Taylor was described by family and friends as hardworking and employed at Kysor Warren Heatcraft. Does anyone who knew Darwyn or was in the Riverland Drive area that night have information to share?
