On the evening of Monday, April 28, 2025, 25-year-old Edward Jamaal Denson was fatally shot in the 200 block of West Hill Street in Quitman, Georgia. He was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead; his body was sent to the GBI Crime Lab for autopsy. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation conducted the inquiry at the request of the local police department.

Investigators identified 20-year-old Khalil Proctor of Quitman as the alleged shooter. Warrants were issued charging Proctor with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Proctor surrendered at the Brooks County Jail the following day, and the case is being prepared for the Southern Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office.

Denson, born June 12, 1999, ran JD Mobile Repairs and More and was remembered as a devoted son, brother, grandson, and friend who loved technology and was active in his community. Does anyone with knowledge of Denson, the neighborhood around West Hill Street, or the events of April 28 have information that could help the investigation?
