Eboni Nicole Hood, 19, was found fatally shot in the face inside her bedroom at the Shoreham Apartments on Champagne Lane in Albany, Georgia. The Dougherty County Coroner pronounced her dead at 12:45 a.m. after police responded to a call in the early hours of Saturday, August 10, 2024.

Officers reported a domestic dispute at the scene. Eboni’s 21-year-old live-in boyfriend, J’Shon Davyen Price, was present and told investigators the shooting was an accident. The Albany Police Department’s Criminal Investigative Bureau determined there was sufficient evidence to arrest Price; he was booked into the Dougherty County Jail on charges of murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and aggravated assault. Eboni’s death was recorded as the county’s 15th homicide that year.

Anyone who knew Eboni or who has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
