On July 15, 2023, the Dogwood Lakes subdivision in Hampton, Georgia, was rocked by a shooting that left four residents dead, including 66-year-old Ronald Jeffers. The attacks happened across multiple locations in the subdivision during a brief span, and reports identify Andre Longmore, a 40-year-old resident of the same neighborhood, as the shooter. The other victims were Scott Levitt, 67, his wife Shirley Levitt, 66, and Steve Blizzard, 65.

A manhunt for Longmore ended the next day in nearby Clayton County when a confrontation with law enforcement resulted in Longmore being killed. Jeffers is remembered by friends and his church as a faithful, kind-hearted man who was active in community life. The motive for the shootings has not been established.

If anyone in Dogwood Lakes knew Ronald Jeffers or saw activity in the area on July 15, 2023, please share what you remember.
