On the night of July 22, 2021, officers answered a call at North Augusta Gardens apartments on West Hugh Street and found a large crowd directing them to a wounded man on the ground. The victim was 25-year-old Stashaun Judge, known as Tank. He had suffered a single gunshot wound to his upper torso, was taken to Augusta University Medical Center, and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival; the coroner ruled the cause of death a shooting.

The slaying came one day after Stashaun’s older brother, Stacey Judge, was shot and killed inside his home in Aiken, South Carolina. That back-to-back violence prompted community speculation about motive, including unverified talk of retribution over stolen dogs, but authorities said the motive remained under investigation. Detectives had not publicly identified a suspect in Stashaun’s killing and the case remained open.

If anyone has information about Stashaun, where he was the night of July 22, 2021, or relevant contacts, please share tips with investigators.
