On August 5, 2016 the body of 21-year-old Waymon Chance Kent was discovered on Edgewood Street, across from the Nashville Housing Authority in Nashville, Georgia. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted local law enforcement and dental records were used to positively identify Kent. An autopsy found he died of a single gunshot wound; authorities classified the death a homicide.

The Berrien County Sheriff’s Office and the Nashville Police Department opened a joint investigation. Kent was employed in the construction industry at the time of his death. Public appeals asked anyone with information to come forward, but there have been few widely reported updates about arrests or identified suspects in the years since, and the case remains unresolved in the community.

If anyone knew Waymon Kent, saw activity on Edgewood Street around August 5, 2016, or has information that could help the investigation, please contact local law enforcement.
