On the morning of Saturday, November 8, 2025, 30-year-old Demetrious Wilkerson was shot and killed while a passenger in a vehicle parked at the Azalea Ridge Apartments on Boxwood Boulevard in Columbus, Georgia. Emergency medical services arrived around 3:32 a.m.; Wilkerson was pronounced dead at 4:10 a.m. after multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say the shooting followed an earlier incident in which 32-year-old Donald Fair reported his vehicle had been shot at on Buena Vista Road. Police allege Fair later drove to the apartment complex, pulled alongside the car where Wilkerson was seated and fired nine rounds. Wilkerson’s two-year-old daughter and the child’s mother were in the vehicle and survived.

A warrant charged Fair with murder, two counts of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime; he was taken into custody on November 10, 2025, and denied bond at a preliminary hearing on November 13, 2025. The investigation continues into the history between the two men.
