Mahki Hampton was 19 when he was shot in the Tatumville neighborhood of Savannah, Georgia, on June 4, 2024, during a visit to celebrate his recent high school graduation. He had graduated Stockbridge High School on May 18, 2024, and was in Savannah with family when the late-night shooting occurred. Hampton was taken to Memorial Hospital and died of his injuries in the early hours of June 5, 2024.

Born September 27, 2004, in Savannah, Hampton was described as energetic and joyful. He played basketball from a young age, was MVP of his Southwest Middle School championship team, played on several AAU teams and spent three seasons with the Benedictine Military School Cadets. He moved to Stockbridge with his mother in September 2023.

The Savannah Police Department investigated and arrested 19-year-old Nazareth Thacker in connection with the shooting; Thacker has been charged with voluntary manslaughter. The case has renewed community concern about youth and gun violence in Savannah. Did anyone in Tatumville or the surrounding area see something that night or have information that could help explain what happened?
