A 3-year-old boy, Bryson Murray, was killed by gunfire inside his Augusta, Georgia home in the early hours of August 20, 2025. Shots were fired into the back of the residence on the 1100 block of New Savannah Road at about 1:10 a.m.; Bryson was struck and later died at a local hospital. Bryson’s mother, a 40-year-old woman, was holding him when both were hit. She sustained gunshot wounds to the chest and arm and attempted to render aid to her son. Two other adults in the home, a 39-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man, were present but not injured.

Authorities say the shooting followed an argument and that numerous rounds were fired into the house. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office arrested 32-year-old Carl B. Gant III; charges include murder, three counts of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. A judge denied bond, finding him a flight risk and danger to the community and potential witnesses.
