Tyronda Bashun Hall, a 54-year-old Black man from Dublin, Georgia, was killed in a shooting on Kingsby Street on Thursday morning, November 9, 2023. Officers were called about 10:20 a.m., and Hall was pronounced dead at 10:48 a.m. Known locally as Bubba, he enjoyed fishing and hunting, worked for years at Robins Air Force Base, and was known to care for his mother who lived nearby.
Investigators found Hall inside an apartment that was not his, belonging to a neighbor and acquaintance, Kenneth Jurell Kates. Hall had suffered a gunshot wound; early reports did not explain what led to the encounter, how the confrontation began, or why he was inside that apartment when police arrived. On November 13, 2023, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Kates, 43, had been arrested and charged with one count of murder in connection with Hall’s death.
If anyone knew Hall, his routine on Kingsby Street, or saw anything that morning, please share information that could help clarify what happened.
