Damaria Hill was an 18-year-old senior and football player at Valdosta High School whose life ended after an argument on the night of August 16, 2015. Hill was taken to Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville and died there on August 17, 2015.

Simmons surrendered to police in Tampa the following day and was later indicted by a Lowndes County grand jury on felony murder, aggravated assault, and carrying a firearm during a felony. A co‑defendant who drove Simmons to the scene was not indicted. Witnesses at trial said Simmons was the only person armed and had been heard yelling that he wanted to kill someone; Simmons maintained he acted in self‑defense and claimed Hill had a gun. A jury convicted Simmons of felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and he was sentenced to life plus five years.

Does anyone have memories of Damaria from Valdosta High or information about the night on Caldwell Drive that could shed more light on what happened?
