A December 2019 house party on Taylor Road in unincorporated Suwanee, Georgia, ended in gunfire and the death of 20-year-old Christopher Morand of Lawrenceville. Police discovered Morand’s body on the morning of Tuesday, December 10, 2019, after receiving information about a shooting the previous night. He had been fatally shot.

Morand was a 2017 graduate of Collins Hill High School, a student at Georgia Gwinnett College and Gwinnett Technical College, employed by a home improvement company, and a member of North Metro Baptist Church. Family members first learned of the shooting through social media before being notified by law enforcement. At least ten people were believed to have been at the party, though it was unclear how many stayed until police arrived.

Detectives interviewed multiple witnesses at the scene, and those interviews led to the identification of a suspect. On Friday, December 13, 2019, 23-year-old Jose Rivera of Lawrenceville was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault in connection with Morand’s death; he was held without bond. Did anyone who attended that party or who knew Christopher come forward with information that helped investigators?
