Javarius Dante Walthour, a 20-year-old African American man from Augusta, Georgia, was fatally shot on November 5, 2014, on Cornell Drive. At the time he was attending Augusta Technical College—having earned a GED there in 2012—and was in the process of enlisting in the military. Authorities reported he was shot in the head with a .32-caliber handgun.

Two men were arrested in connection with the killing: Demarco Mandrell Williams, then 34, and Jeffrey Houston Burns, then 54. Williams went to trial in Richmond County Superior Court and said he shot Walthour in self-defense, alleging Walthour had robbed him earlier that day. Williams argued the shell casing placement supported his account of firing as Walthour fled. The jury acquitted Williams of murder, criminal damage to property, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, but convicted him of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. The reported outcome for Jeffrey Houston Burns was not widely detailed.

Does anyone have further information about Walthour’s last movements on November 5, 2014, or the events leading up to that day?
