The other victim, 27-year-old Anfranee Smothers, suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to a trauma center in Macon and later released.

The Americus Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation opened a joint homicide probe. On October 27, 2023, 25-year-old Quaderious Deshawn Davis surrendered to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office and was arrested on charges including murder, aggravated battery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Born March 2, 2001, in Americus, Sims graduated from Americus-Sumter High School in 2019. Known as Mr. RSL and Huncho, family and friends remembered him as joyful, genuine, musically talented, and devoted to his mother, sisters, and nephew.
