Genesis Barnett was 21 when he was shot and killed during a small house party in Valley Grande on Monday, May 20, 2024. The gathering on the 3700 block of Hilandale Drive turned violent after an argument among attendees; one person reportedly walked away and, shortly after, more than twenty gunshots were fired. Barnett died at the scene.

Police investigation led to the arrest of Remarion Coleman and, subsequently, a second arrest of Cameron Smith, both charged in connection with Barnett’s murder. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are possible.

If anyone attended that party or has information about the events on Hilandale Drive that night, please share what you know.
