Oharra Reggeynaulde Thomas, a 23-year-old Black man from Bainbridge, Georgia, was shot multiple times and killed on February 25, 2024, after an argument at a residence in the 1400 block of Avenue A. Investigators say the argument began between Thomas and his girlfriend and escalated as members of her family became involved. Bainbridge Public Safety called in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation that evening, and officers found Thomas already dead at the scene.

Authorities later identified three relatives who were involved: Anthony Tyrome Chandler, 26; Brianna Chandler, 24; and Angela Balogun, 44. The GBI says Anthony Chandler was the person who shot Thomas. Anthony Chandler was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Balogun was charged with tampering with evidence, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Brianna Chandler was charged with aggravated assault and hindering the apprehension of a fugitive; all three were booked into the Decatur County Jail.

Reporting later indicated the three defendants entered guilty pleas as the case moved toward trial in Decatur County. Much about Thomas’s life and the argument that turned fatal remains unreported. Does anyone have additional details about Thomas or what happened that evening?
