On April 21, 2026, 10-year-old Deangelo Roberson of Augusta, Georgia, was shot while inside a car where his three children were left unattended. The children ranged in age from 4 to 10; Deangelo was a student at Jenkins-White Elementary School. A gun that had been left in the vehicle became accessible to one of the children, and it is believed Deangelo’s four-year-old sister fired the weapon.

Deangelo was taken to a hospital and died days later. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation. The children’s mother, 27-year-old Deasia Lexus Williams, was initially charged with three counts of second-degree cruelty to children; after Deangelo’s death those charges were upgraded to second-degree murder. The community and the school mourned his loss.

Are there witnesses or anyone who was in the area of Gordon Highway on April 21 who can provide information about what happened that day?
