On April 11, 2025, 27-year-old Jaylon Wesley was found in the middle of Colorado Street in Columbus, Georgia, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Wesley, known to some as Dank, worked locally as a self-employed landscaper.

The Columbus Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit opened an investigation and identified a vehicle connected to the incident. On April 25, 2025, authorities arrested 37-year-old Calvin Johnson, who was charged with murder as a party to a crime and willful obstruction of law enforcement officers. He was scheduled for a hearing in Court on those charges.

The investigation into the circumstances of the shooting remains ongoing. Does anyone who knew Jaylon or who was in the Colorado Street area on April 11 have information that could help investigators?
