Tristan Lamar Manigault, 37, was killed in Savannah on August 30, 2024, after a night in the downtown entertainment district turned violent. Officers responded to the 100 block of West Congress Lane at about 2:15 a.m. following reports of gunfire and found Manigault with gunshot wounds; he was taken to Memorial Health University Medical Center and pronounced dead. Two other people were identified as victims that night: an adult female who had been shot and an adult male with a hand injury who refused treatment at the scene.

Reports tie the shooting to an argument that began inside Octane Bar and spilled into a nearby parking lot, and court filings describe the confrontation escalating in the early morning hours and ending with Manigault being shot to death. He has been described in public reports as a Marine and a father; his 12-year-old daughter later filed a civil suit through her mother and attorney against several downtown businesses alleging unsafe conditions. The coroner identified Manigault and an autopsy was scheduled as the homicide investigation continued; no suspect name, arrest, or formal charge had been publicly announced.

Did anyone in the Savannah area see or hear anything that night on West Congress Lane that could help explain what happened?
