On November 25, 2023, 16-year-old Desmond Keishawn Rivers was found dead in the front passenger seat of a dark blue Toyota Corolla in the Anthony Way neighborhood of Milledgeville, Georgia, the victim of a single gunshot wound to his forehead. The Corolla was described as riddled with bullet holes after a rolling shootout between its occupants and those in a red Dodge Charger, with several homes and vehicles struck by gunfire. Authorities characterized the incident as gang-related.

Baldwin County and Milledgeville law enforcement responded after multiple reports of shots fired. A traffic stop of the red Dodge Charger on Dunlap Road led to the detention of four occupants for questioning. Investigators identified three suspects from the Toyota; Dillon Chapman, 17, was arrested November 26, and a 14-year-old surrendered November 27. Eighteen-year-old Derquavious Kier remained at large for almost a month before being found hiding in an apartment closet and taken into custody in December.

A grand jury later indicted Kier, Chapman, Tyreion Deshon Havior, and Jamarcus Demond Ingram on charges connected to Rivers’s death. The four defendants were scheduled for arraignment in February 2024. Does anyone have information about Desmond, the vehicles involved, or the events that evening?
