Zykeivion Jalin Taylor Porter was 19 when he was shot late on the night of February 7, 2023, on the 1400 block of South Main Street in Moultrie, Georgia. Police found him with a gunshot wound to the abdomen at about 11:15 p.m.; he was taken to Colquitt Regional Medical Center and later transferred to Navicent Health in Macon, where he died on February 9, 2023.

A recent Colquitt County High School graduate (class of 2022) who worked at a local Domino’s Pizza, Porter’s death prompted a rapid criminal response. Investigators identified a suspect and obtained warrants for 19-year-old Jason Doan Ho of Moultrie. Valdosta Police located Ho and the vehicle the next day, February 8, 2023, and arrested him without incident. Two firearms were recovered; Ho was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

The motive and full circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation. If anyone has information about Porter, his activities that night, or the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
