Jabari Webb was a 15-year-old Black male shot late on the night of July 12, 2023, in the 500 block of Aiken Street in Augusta. Deputies were called about 11:30 p.m.; he was struck at least once and taken to Augusta University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead in the early hours that followed. Another male was wounded in the same gunfire but survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Family members described Jabari as steady and caring. His sister said he had been looking forward to turning 16 on July 25 and that he was the youngest of three siblings who helped care for an uncle. Visitation was held July 21, 2023, with a graveside service July 22.

Investigators later obtained a murder warrant for Dontavious Shareef Smith, 17, of Augusta, and public reports state he was arrested in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on September 8, 2023, and returned to Augusta to face murder, aggravated assault, and weapon possession charges. Did anyone in Augusta know Jabari or see activity on Aiken Street that night?
