Randolph Ben Scott II, a 28-year-old Black man from Savannah, Georgia, was killed in a January 2, 2015 shooting in the 500 block of West 54th Street. Police said two men arrived separately at an apartment and an argument between them turned violent; Scott was the only person who died, while four other relatives — including two children, a woman, and another adult — were wounded. Some reports say Scott died at the scene, while others say he later died at Candler General Hospital that day.

The case reads like a domestic dispute that escalated into fatal gunfire and then largely disappeared from public documentation.
