On the afternoon of July 10, 2025, 28-year-old Raekwon Tyrell Brinson was fatally shot at about 2:52 p.m. while standing in the doorway of the One Stop & Shop at 2382 Barton Chapel Road in Augusta, Georgia. Emergency responders pronounced Brinson dead at the scene.

Investigators say two people got out of a vehicle, approached the store entrance, brandished firearms and shot Brinson multiple times before fleeing in the same vehicle. A deputy later located the suspect vehicle on Milledgeville Road and used a PIT maneuver to stop it. The driver, Javar Crockett, was taken into custody and gave information backed by surveillance footage. Witnesses identified 16-year-old Charles Reginald Harris III, Crockett’s brother, in a lineup as one of the shooters. Authorities named 20-year-old Camron Jakai Brown as a primary suspect; Brown surrendered to police on July 15, 2025.

The case has drawn attention to concerns about rising violent crime in the Augusta area. If anyone witnessed the shooting, saw the suspect vehicle that afternoon, or has additional information, please come forward.
