Jeremy Howard, 31, a Black man from Athens, was shot in the early hours of June 12, 2024, at a home in the 100 block of Nowhere Road in Athens-Clarke County. Responding officers found him wounded; life-saving measures were attempted on scene and he was taken to a local hospital, where he died after a single gunshot during the encounter.

Police quickly identified the woman at the house, 26-year-old Heather McCall, as the suspect. Authorities charged her the same day with involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct. Reporting described McCall and Howard as former romantic partners and said police acknowledged a history of domestic violence between them; accounts say the shooting occurred during a confrontation after Howard arrived at McCall’s home and that McCall told police she did not intend to pull the trigger. No other suspects were publicly named.

Public filings later showed McCall was formally indicted in Clarke County Superior Court on the same charges, indicating prosecutors planned to pursue the case. Howard was also described in reports as an expectant father. Does anyone have information about Howard’s final hours or the relationship dynamics that could help explain what happened that night?
