In the late evening of August 31, 2023, a man was found fatally shot on Jona Trail in Dacula, Georgia. Officers from the Gwinnett County Police Department arrived about 11:15 p.m. after a report of a person being shot and discovered 42-year-old Kenneth Stockton of Dawsonville deceased from an apparent gunshot wound.

Detectives say the shooting does not appear to have been random and that Stockton was involved in a confrontation with another male shortly before shots were fired. The dispute’s nature and what triggered the violence remain a focus of the active investigation. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Gwinnett County Police detectives or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers; a cash reward may be available for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night?
