In the pre-dawn hours of May 8, 2026, in Athens, Georgia, 17-year-old Deandre Grisson was fatally shot after an encounter at the Pilgrim’s Pride parking area. Deandre and his brother Jamarcus had gone to pick up their sister, 18-year-old Jamya Grisson, who was accompanied by her boyfriend, Makai Tucker. A separate vehicle carrying 22-year-old Jakel Arnold and his cousin arrived, and Arnold approached Jamya. She refused to engage, and an argument followed when the brothers intervened.

Deandre and Jamya were struck. Jamarcus drove them to a local hospital; Deandre died of his injuries and Jamya suffered non-life-threatening wounds. Investigators identified Jakel Arnold as the suspected shooter and arrested him several hours later; he was charged with malice murder and four counts of aggravated assault. The investigation remains ongoing.

Does anyone who was near Rowe Road or Pilgrim’s Pride that morning have information that could help clarify exactly what happened?
