Napoleon Nigel Ponder, 51, was found dead inside a home in the 100 block of Baisden Avenue in Valdosta, Georgia, after his family reported not hearing from him for about a day on June 29, 2022. Officers discovered Ponder with signs of trauma; the wounds were later confirmed to be multiple gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Ponder ran Big Pine Properties, LLC, and was remembered by family and friends as spirited, intelligent, a loving father and a caring fiancé.

Investigators identified 32-year-old Xavier Cornelius White as a suspect; police said the two were acquainted and described the killing as an isolated incident. Arrest warrants charging White with felony murder and aggravated assault were issued, and he was considered armed and dangerous while wanted. On July 9, 2022, after a 911 call about an unknown man in a backyard shed on North Lee Street, officers located White, who surrendered without incident and was taken to the Lowndes County Jail.

Did anyone in Valdosta know Napoleon Ponder or have information about his movements in late June 2022?
