A shooting in Sandersville, Georgia, on the night of Sunday, July 27, 2025, left two young men dead in the courtyard of Washington Manor Apartments on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. Jonathan Carnez Burden, 22 and a Sandersville resident, was found with a fatal gunshot wound and pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, 19-year-old Elijah Alphonso Graham, was transported to Washington County Regional Medical Center but later died of his injuries.

Investigators from the Sandersville Police Department, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation treated the incident as a double homicide and identified 36-year-old Damian Kennon Reaves, known as Knowledge, as a suspect. A warrant was issued and Reaves was the subject of a multiagency manhunt. Tips led officers to an apartment on Habersham Street in Milledgeville, where Reaves was arrested on August 1, 2025, and returned to Washington County for questioning and booking. The motive has not been released.

If anyone knew Jonathan, Elijah, or saw activity at Washington Manor Apartments that night, can you share information that might help investigators?
