In South Georgia, a female who was 16 years old was shot and murdered, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking for a child who is 14 years old in connection with the shooting. According to a news release published by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) on June 17, investigators have filed warrants for the teen’s arrest as part of the investigation into the death of Ke’aisa Young. The fact that he is a minor is the reason why McClatchy News is not naming him.
According to the police, officers were dispatched to a residence in Sylvester at approximately 11:15 p.m. on June 15 in response to a complaint of a fatality that had occurred there. Upon entering, they discovered Young wounded from a gunshot wound. The boy, who was 16 years old at the time of the shooting, was reportedly visiting friends at the time. Authorities have stated that the body of Young was transported to the GBI Crime Lab in order to undergo an autopsy.
However, as of the 18th of June, the authorities were still looking for the youngster who was 14 years old, according to the GBI. No arrests have been made at this time. A request from the Sylvester Police Department has prompted the General Bureau of Investigation to conduct an investigation into the incident. Situated around 175 miles to the south of Atlanta is the town of Sylvester.
Each year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that thousands of people in the United States pass away as a result of injuries caused by firearms. In the year 2022, injuries caused by firearms were among the top five primary causes of mortality for those aged 1 to 44. According to experts, gun violence is a “serious public health problem.” According to the public health service, its ripple effect extends well beyond the victims and their families.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Shooting incidents, including those that occur in homes, schools, houses of worship, workspaces, shopping areas, on the street, or at community events, can affect the sense of safety and security of entire communities and impact decisions that are made on a daily basis.”
