On January 17, 2021, Oshane Scott, a 27-year-old Black man, was fatally shot inside his apartment at The Aurora @ Twenty Seven Hundred in Lilburn, Georgia. He had been in the parking lot with his girlfriend preparing to leave when 25-year-old Karre Rivers arrived; Scott and Rivers went inside to talk. Scott’s girlfriend heard gunfire, saw Rivers leaving with his hands in his pockets, and found Scott inside with multiple gunshot wounds. Scott died shortly after from those injuries.
Gwinnett County investigators initially explored a possible drug-related motive. When taken into custody Rivers first told police another man known as Bino was the shooter, saying he had found Scott already bleeding. Rivers later changed his account and admitted to shooting Scott, saying an argument escalated into a physical fight during which he fired the gun. In March 2024 a jury convicted Rivers of malice murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; a judge sentenced him to life without parole plus five years.
If anyone knew Oshane, his movements that day, or has information about what led to the confrontation, please share what is known.
