On the evening of January 17, 2015, gunfire rang out in a Savannah neighborhood and officers found 23-year-old David Rashamel Goldwire fatally shot in the yard of a duplex on Clars Avenue. Goldwire, an African American man, died in what the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department classified as a homicide; the city had experienced another shooting the day before.

Detectives quickly opened a homicide investigation and identified a 23-year-old person of interest, Ezra Shane Owens, believed to be from the Atlanta area and possibly having returned there after the incident. Police publicly sought information on Owens’ whereabouts, but no arrests were ever announced and the case later went cold.

The motive and circumstances that led to Goldwire’s killing remain unclear. If anyone has information about David Goldwire, Ezra Shane Owens, or the events on Clars Avenue that night, please share what you know with investigators.
