James Wallace was 18 when he was shot and killed on the night of Saturday, September 20, 2025, in Richmond Hill, Georgia. He worked as a cart attendant at Sam’s Club, attended Jenkins High School, and was remembered by family as respectful, humble and sweet.

Officers responding to a shooting at the Ashton Apartment Complex on Harris Trail Road found Wallace and 19-year-old Umar Haqq dead at the scene; a third person was wounded and taken to a hospital. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called in to lead the inquiry and both bodies were sent to the GBI Crime Lab in Pooler for autopsy.

By early December 2025 the investigation remained active and no arrests had been announced. Wallace’s family has publicly asked anyone with information to come forward to help bring those responsible to justice.

If anyone knew James or was in the Ashton Apartment Complex area that night, can you share what you remember with investigators?
