On the evening of November 9, 2021, 21-year-old Javon M. Jackson was attending a family gathering at his grandmother’s home in the Southwood Mobile Home Park in Milledgeville, Georgia. The gathering was held to mark his late brother’s birthday and upcoming death anniversary. Jackson, a new father to a 2-month-old daughter, was in the yard when a shootout erupted outside the residence. Investigators reported roughly fifty rounds were fired from multiple weapons. Jackson was struck by multiple gunshot wounds, taken to a local hospital, and died of his injuries; another person suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.

Four people were arrested in connection with the shooting: Garyuntae Ivey, 19; T’Andre Tramayne Alexander, 24; Devion Boyd, 17; and Netobia Williams. A Baldwin County grand jury indicted all four on malice murder, felony murder, and multiple counts of aggravated assault. By August 2023 Netobia Williams had pleaded guilty to malice murder and aggravated assault and received a life sentence with parole eligibility after 30 years; Devion Boyd pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and was sentenced to 20 years, with the first 12 to be served in prison. Two co-defendants, including T’Andre Tramayne Alexander, testified at Garyuntae Ivey’s trial.

Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Javon and his family?
