Nicholas Quintavius Gillison, 35, was shot on the morning of Wednesday, September 20, 2017, on Mossydale Lane in Albany, Georgia. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including to his head and chest, was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, and died there on Friday, September 22, 2017; his death was recorded as Albany’s 15th homicide of that year.

Witnesses said they heard Gillison cry for help after shots were fired. The house at 127 Mossydale Lane, which Gillison was known to frequent, became the focus of the investigation. While detectives were canvassing the scene, 31-year-old Megan Charris Roquemore, an acquaintance of Gillison, was arrested on a marijuana possession charge following a search of the residence.

In March 2018 the Albany Police Department announced a murder warrant for 34-year-old Leonardo Davinci Bateman of Americus, described as about 6 feet tall and 190 pounds, and asked the public for help locating him. There have been no public updates about an arrest, motive, or resolution of the case. If anyone has information about Nicholas Gillison, his movements that morning, or Bateman’s whereabouts, please share what is known.
