On the evening of January 10, 2026, a gathering inside a vacant apartment in Palmetto, Georgia, ended in gunfire. Jamari Brown, 21, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest after Palmetto police responded to a reported shooting at an apartment complex on Cascade Palmetto Highway around 8 p.m. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries.

Police arrested a 16-year-old male the next morning; the teenager faces charges of murder, aggravated assault, and burglary. Authorities say the shooting may have followed an argument between the teen and Brown, though details of the dispute have not been released. A second person, identified as Aiden King, was also arrested and charged with burglary.

Friends and family set up a memorial at the scene while funeral arrangements were pending. Does anyone who knew Jamari or was at the gathering on January 10 have information that could help clarify what happened?
