On the evening of March 16, 2024, two people were shot in Vidalia, Georgia, at the area of East Jenkins Street and Epstein Street. Eighteen-year-old Iesha Esha Wicker, who was pregnant, and 23-year-old Justin Godfrey both suffered gunshot wounds, were taken to Memorial Health Meadows Hospital, and died of their injuries; Wicker’s unborn child also died.

In the days after the shooting three people were arrested: Jaquan Quashon Jerome Jordan, 23, and Patrick Cornelius Hunt, 18, both from Mount Vernon, and 16-year-old Kison Latrell King of McRae. Charges reported against Jordan and Hunt included two counts of malice murder, one count of feticide, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; Jordan was also charged as a party to a crime. King was charged with two counts of felony murder and five counts of aggravated assault. In April 2024 two more arrests were made: Michael Anthony Jr., 19, of Lyons, and Fitzroy Anthony Ellis, 18, of Vidalia, each charged with two counts of felony murder and five counts of aggravated assault.

By February 2025 Patrick Cornelius Hunt had been found guilty of murder and feticide; proceedings for the other defendants were still pending. The motive has not been released and the investigation was described as ongoing. Did anyone in the area know Iesha or have information about what happened that evening?
