On the evening of April 25, 2015, in Savannah, Georgia, 21-year-old Rashad Biggins was found lying on the sidewalk at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Henry Street at about 9:41 p.m. He had been shot multiple times and was taken to Memorial University Medical Center, where he died shortly after arrival.

Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police detectives identified two suspects. In April 2016 authorities arrested 25-year-old Tyrell Smith at his workplace and served a warrant on 20-year-old Arheem Deloach while he was already jailed on an unrelated murder charge. Deloach was charged with malice murder, felony murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Smith was charged with conspiracy and as a party to malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault.

In August 2017 a Chatham County jury found Arheem Deloach guilty of malice murder in Biggins’ death as part of a prosecution that linked this killing and another as retaliatory. The conviction prompted posttrial appeals and rulings that affirmed in part and reversed in part aspects of the trial court’s judgment.
