A relative found 42-year-old Dwayne Clark dead inside his Church Street home in Lumber City, Georgia, on the evening of August 18, 2025. A 911 call came in at about 8:53 p.m.; responding Lumber City officers found Clark had been shot multiple times. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to lead the homicide probe and an autopsy was scheduled at the GBI Medical Examiner’s Office to determine the official cause of death.

Investigators described the inquiry as active and ongoing while they gathered evidence and interviewed potential witnesses. In early September the GBI announced arrests: 21-year-old David Walker of Hawkinsville and 19-year-old Sharonda Guyton of Eastman were charged in connection with Clark’s death and face counts including felony murder, aggravated assault, and aggravated battery. The case will be referred to the Oconee District Attorney’s Office when the GBI completes its work.

If anyone in Lumber City or nearby communities has information about Clark, his movements on August 18, or the people involved, please come forward to the GBI or local law enforcement.
