Terrance Palmer

On Halloween afternoon in 2021, the life of Terrance Palmer was cut short in Savannah, Georgia. Mr. Palmer, a 23-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on Sunday, October 31. Around 1:20 p.m., Savannah Police officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 100 block of Morekis Drive. Upon arrival, they found Terrance Palmer suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. He was immediately transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

Detectives with the Savannah Police Department began an active investigation, stating that they did not believe the shooting was a random incident. In the initial days of the inquiry, authorities reached out to the public for assistance, asking anyone with information to contact police detectives or the CrimeStoppers tip line.

The investigation quickly led to a suspect. On November 3, 2021, just three days after the shooting, police arrested 19-year-old Paris Holmes in connection with Terrance Palmer's death. Holmes was subsequently booked into the Chatham County jail.

Paris Holmes was charged with one count of party to a crime-murder, one count of robbery by sudden snatching, and two counts of aggravated assault. At the time of the arrest, police announced that the investigation remained active and ongoing and that no further details were being released. As of November 2021, the case was proceeding through the legal system.
