Antonio Lamar Jewell, 22, of Winterville, Georgia, was found unresponsive on a sidewalk in the 100 block of Madison Avenue in the early evening of November 6, 2025. Emergency medical services and the local fire department performed life-saving efforts, but Jewell’s injuries proved fatal and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Athens-Clarke County detectives determined Jewell was the victim of an attempted armed robbery that turned deadly. Investigators identified multiple suspects; initially three Athens men were taken into custody: 23-year-old Samtavious Clark, 18-year-old Jeremiah Gresham, and 18-year-old Dion Nesbitt. Each was charged with murder, malice murder, armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and criminal street gang activity.
The probe expanded and three more Athens residents were arrested later in November: 19-year-old Dermetris Allen and 18-year-old Christian Hull on November 24, and 19-year-old Chedric Stroud on November 25. They face the same homicide-related and gang-related charges, bringing the total charged in connection with Jewell’s death to six. The investigation remains ongoing.
If anyone has information about Jewell, the events that night, or the arrests, please share what is known with investigators.
