Christopher Yarbrough, a 19-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of December 26, 2009, after leaving Club Peppers in Baxley, Appling County, Georgia. The shooting happened in the crowded parking lot at about 2:00 a.m. and followed an altercation believed to have started with a fight. Two other people were wounded and later recovered.

Estimates put the club’s crowd that night at more than a thousand people, yet the chaos left many unanswered questions. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation lists the death as an unsolved homicide; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. Anyone who was at the club, in the parking lot, or who has information about that night is asked to come forward to help bring answers for Christopher’s family.
