Leon Monroe Chandler, a 34-year-old Black man, died on July 1, 2019, after being shot following a card game at a home on Dennard Street in Bainbridge, Georgia. Police say a disagreement at the game escalated into an altercation and a gun was drawn; Chandler was shot and later died at Memorial Hospital despite medical efforts.
Investigators identified a suspect, 48-year-old Jamel Christopher Jackson, who initially fled the scene and was considered armed and dangerous. He was located in Donalsonville that afternoon, recognized inside a Hardee’s, taken into custody at about 4:30 p.m., and transported back to Bainbridge for booking. Authorities announced Jackson was arrested and charged with murder while they continued to review circumstances and potential additional charges.
