Adrian Deion Wofford, 23, a Black man from Jefferson, Georgia, was found dead on a Walton County roadway on September 18, 2024. The Social Circle Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation determined he died from multiple gunshot wounds and opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators identified five suspects. On October 5, 2024, 19-year-old Rosalynn Ellison and 20-year-old Jevhon Reece, both of Social Circle, were arrested in Jones County and booked into the Walton County Jail on charges that include conspiracy, armed robbery, aggravated assault, murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Three teenagers were later implicated and charged with offenses including hijacking a motor vehicle, kidnapping, false imprisonment, armed robbery, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm in the commission of a crime, and felony murder; those juveniles were in custody in Gainesville, Florida, when served with the warrants.

The GBI said the extradition process for the teens from Florida to Georgia will begin soon, and the investigation remains ongoing before the case is turned over to the Alcovy Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office. If anyone has information about Adrian Wofford or the events in late summer 2024, please share what is known with investigators.
