Robert Earl Bolden, 44, was killed in Columbus, Georgia on Wednesday, November 5, 2014, from a gunshot wound to the torso. The shooting occurred during an incident described as a drug deal.

Two cousins, Adrian Patterson and Gary Lee Jones, were arrested and charged in connection with Bolden’s death. Each accused the other of firing the fatal shot. Gary Lee Jones was tried first and acquitted in December 2014. Adrian Patterson went to trial in May 2018; jurors heard a recorded statement in which Patterson said Bolden had attempted to rob him with a pistol and that Jones then shot Bolden, while Jones testified that Patterson fired the shot. Patterson was also found not guilty.

With both accused acquitted, no one has been convicted for Bolden’s killing. Does anyone have information about the November 2014 shooting or knew Bolden and the people involved?
