A shooting in Tifton, Georgia, took the life of 16-year-old Jamahri Sims on or around October 6, 2025. Officers found the teenager gravely injured in the 1100 block of South Central Avenue; he was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead from a gunshot wound. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called in to lead the probe and the state crime lab performed an autopsy to determine cause and manner of death.

Investigators say another person was shot and wounded in a separate location the same day and was also hospitalized. Authorities have appealed to the public for information but have not released details about suspects or arrests. Anyone who knew Jamahri or witnessed the events in early October is asked to come forward with information.
