On the afternoon of Saturday, January 28, 2017, 19-year-old J'Kobe Wilkerson was found dead from a gunshot wound in the breezeway of an apartment building at the Bridgewater Apartments on Ridge Brook Trail in Duluth, Georgia. The shooting occurred around 5:15 p.m. A second person was also wounded and taken to a local medical center; authorities did not immediately disclose how the two victims were connected.
Gwinnett County Police identified and arrested two suspects within 24 hours. Christopher Tavarez and Bailey Foney-Ray, both 18 at the time, were booked into the county jail and charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and conspiracy in connection with Wilkerson’s death and the injury of the second victim. The motive remained under investigation in the days after the shooting.
Did anyone in the area know Wilkerson or have information about what led to the shooting?
