On the night of June 1, 2026, 29-year-old Keontavious Bailey was found unresponsive in the roadway on the 300 block of Dix Street in LaGrange, Georgia, after officers responded to reports of a shooting at about 10:40 p.m. Emergency crews transported Bailey to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries.

The investigation initially focused on a reported altercation involving a woman named Telneschia Jones, and Jones was arrested on murder, aggravated assault and firearm charges. Detectives later uncovered evidence that a witness had deliberately given false information, leading to dismissal of the charges and Jones’s release. New evidence subsequently identified Randy Orlanda Johnson Jr. as the person charged with Bailey’s murder.

Investigators also arrested 28-year-old Marecia Todd, who turned herself in on June 9 and faces charges of providing false statements and tampering with evidence for allegedly altering witness accounts and the scene before police arrived. The investigation remains active. If anyone on Dix Street that night or anyone with information about these events can help, please share what is known.
