Laderek Tayshun Ferguson, a 22-year-old Black man, was killed in a late-night shooting at a 76 gas station in LaGrange, Georgia, on August 23, 2023. Surveillance footage places him inside the store at about 11:47 p.m.; a sedan arrived minutes later and three of its four occupants entered the store. A verbal confrontation near the doorway escalated as Ferguson was leaving, and prosecutors say Dorian Jaquaylen Malik Darden, known as PsyCo, opened fire from the rear passenger door, striking Ferguson four times.

Ferguson returned fire and wounded Darden, but succumbed at the scene. Several others were wounded and taken to hospitals; two were later released and one remained hospitalized in stable condition at the start of the investigation. Prosecutors presented evidence tying Darden to the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips and argued the killing furthered gang objectives.

Darden was tried in Troup County in September 2026; a jury found him guilty of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and two violations of the Georgia Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act, and he was sentenced to life without parole plus 40 years.
