Johnnie Ty Juan Malachi was 19 when he was shot and killed in Valdosta, Georgia, during the early morning hours of Sunday, August 30, 2020. The shooting occurred after an altercation in the parking lot of Vibez Nightclub on Bemiss Road. Officers who responded to 911 calls found Johnnie injured; they provided first aid until EMS transported him to South Georgia Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased.

Investigators reported a large crowd—around 75 to 80 people—in the parking lot at the time, but most had dispersed before police began their work. The Valdosta Police Department’s Person’s Crimes Unit and the Valdosta-Lowndes Regional Crime Laboratory processed the scene and appealed for anyone with information or cell phone video to come forward, offering anonymous tips. There have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects.

Does anyone who was in that area that morning or who has footage of Vibez Nightclub’s parking lot around August 30, 2020, have information to share?
