On the morning of November 21, 2024, 50-year-old Chavious Kimmerlin was found shot to death inside his home on Highland Avenue in Augusta. Richmond County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a shots-fired call about 7:15 a.m., discovered Kimmerlin unresponsive and he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.

Investigators developed two suspects in the case. One, 25-year-old De'Narian Cobb of Waynesboro, was arrested in January 2025; the case file notes Cobb is a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal history and was out on parole on separate violent charges in Richmond County. The other, Cedric Alandus Peters, fled the state after the shooting and was later located overseas; U.S. Marshals arrested him in Thailand in February 2026, and he is awaiting extradition to face charges in the killing.
