On the night of March 6, 2023, 10-year-old Damarion Dam Jam Quinn, known as Marion or Dam Jam, was asleep in his bed in the single-wide mobile home he shared with his father on Harrisburg Road in Milledgeville, Georgia, when the home was struck by gunfire coming from the woods outside. At least one bullet penetrated the dwelling and fatally wounded the fifth-grade student. He was taken to Atrium Health Navicent Baldwin and pronounced dead less than an hour after arrival.

Damarion was a member of Midway Hills Academy’s Junior Beta Club and art club, and he played football and basketball. Family and classmates remembered him as bright, loving, and protective of his family; he helped his father at the barbershop and was awaiting testing for the school’s gifted program. Authorities said the home had been intentionally targeted and arrested four people in connection with the case: Rodracious Demaris Stephens, Shamonica Kiera Reaves, Charles Chavez Jackson Jr. and Jerrell Antwoin Stubbs.

Did anyone in the Milledgeville area know Damarion, his family, or have information about the shooting?
