On the evening of Wednesday, March 19, 2025, 28-year-old A’kki Pauley was fatally shot during a dispute on Dabney Drive in Augusta, Georgia. A private vehicle took Pauley to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Another man was wounded in the same shooting and was expected to recover.

The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office identified 35-year-old Donnell Varicy Mitchell as the suspect and said the two brothers had a troubled history, including a previous firearms incident. Authorities considered Mitchell armed and dangerous and conducted a search for him.

Donnell Mitchell was arrested and booked into the Richmond County Jail on June 2, 2025, and charged with murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime in connection with A’kki Pauley’s death. If anyone has information about the dispute or either brother’s whereabouts before March 19, please share what is known.
