Frances Clay, a 67-year-old African American woman, was killed inside her home on Lee Street in Albany, Georgia, on the evening of February 6, 2015. Police responding to reports of gunfire conducted a welfare check and found Clay deceased from a fatal gunshot wound after a bullet passed through a window and struck her.

Investigators say the bullet came from a nearby shootout on Cedar Avenue. Authorities alleged that 31-year-old Quantavious Cortez Thomas was firing at a group of males in the 800 block of Cedar Avenue; a Dougherty County Grand Jury later indicted Thomas for felony murder, three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, one count of aggravated assault, and for influencing two witnesses in the investigation. Two others were also charged: Syndra Lesha Jackson with possession of a firearm by a first offender probationer and Shannon Marquiz Jordon with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Does anyone in the Albany area remember that night or have information about the shootout near Cedar Avenue?
