Valantine Dwight Gant Jr., 26, was shot and killed in Savannah, Georgia, on June 6, 2015. He was sitting in his car in the parking lot of a small apartment complex on Edgewater Road when occupants of a black sedan opened fire. Gant’s three-year-old son was in the car as well and suffered minor cuts believed to be from shrapnel. Responding Southside Precinct officers found the two inside after hearing a car horn; Gant was taken to Memorial University Medical Center and did not survive.
Investigators recovered a quantity of drugs and paraphernalia from Gant’s vehicle and reported that the shooting appeared to have occurred during a drug transaction. Law enforcement appealed to the public for help identifying the gunman and established a tip line; local clergy agreed to receive anonymous information. Funeral services were held on Saturday, June 13, 2015, at First Evergreen Missionary Baptist Church.
Does anyone have information about the shooting or recall seeing a black sedan in the Edgewater Road area that evening?
