In late summer 2023 Savannah, Georgia, a deadly armed robbery at the Fenwick Village Apartments ended with two men shot to death. On August 9, 32-year-old Eric Townsend Jr. was fatally shot; 27-year-old Robert Johnson was also killed in the same incident. The Chatham County Police Department identified the event as a double homicide tied to an armed robbery and pursued the case immediately.

Investigators arrested three suspects: 22-year-old Roland Heyward, 23-year-old Akilee Wilson, and 27-year-old Albert Mack, who were charged with murder and armed robbery. Two additional men, Ruben Hughes and Raquan Williams, were later indicted in connection with the shootings. Reports say the five were allegedly attempting to purchase marijuana when the fatal shootings occurred.

Townsend Jr. was survived by his parents, four brothers, and a sister; his funeral was held August 25, 2023, at Jesus First Community Church in Garden City, Georgia, and he was interred at Greenwich Cemetery. Does anyone have information about Eric’s final hours or the Fenwick Village Apartments on August 9?
