Donta Jaqun Rogers, 26, was found fatally shot inside his Putnam Street residence in Elba, Alabama, on the evening of January 16, 2020. Known to friends and family as 5 Fresh and Kodak, Rogers worked as a welder at Dorsey Trailers and was remembered for his goofy personality, love of dancing, and a bright smile. The Elba Police Department opened a homicide investigation that left the family awaiting answers and holding vigils.

In July 2022 authorities identified a suspect, Joran Wilden, who was already held in the Geneva County Jail on an unrelated drug possession charge; the Elba Police Department placed a hold to keep him from being released. Court filings indicate investigators believe the shooting may have occurred during a burglary at Rogers’ home. A Coffee County judge denied Aniah’s Law status for Wilden, set bond at $250,000, and ordered that he have no contact with Rogers’ family.

Anyone who knew Rogers or who has information about the burglary or shooting is asked to come forward.
