Jatives Moate, Tallahassee, Obituary, Death: Gunman remains at large after a sudden burst of violence leaves a family shattered in the dark.

 

A quiet night at a local Tallahassee pool hall ended in a way no one ever expects. Somewhere out there, a person walked away from a shooting that stole the life of Jatives Moate. It happened in the blink of an eye in the parking lot of Pockets Pool and Pub. Now, a Georgia family is left picking up the pieces of a broken heart.


The clock had just ticked past 2 a.m. on Saturday when the shots rang out on Sharer Road. It’s that time of night when most people are just trying to get home safe. Instead, the area was flooded with sirens and officers. A man’s life was ending right there in the gravel while the person responsible disappeared into the night.


Officers found Jatives in the middle of the parking lot with several gunshot wounds. It’s a grisly scene that no one should have to witness. The responders jumped right in, trying to save him with everything they had. They fought for his life in the middle of the night, but the injuries were just too much to overcome.

​Jatives was pronounced dead at the scene, leaving behind a community in shock. He was a 34-year-old man from Sylvester, Georgia, who had his whole life ahead of him. His death wasn't just a tragedy for his family; it’s a wound for the entire town. It’s hard to wrap your head around why someone would pull a trigger like that.

​As it stands, the investigation is wide open. Detectives are out there right now, scouring the 2800 block for any shred of evidence. They are checking every grainy security video and asking witnesses to dig deep into their memories. They want to know who was there and why this had to happen.

​The most frustrating part for the family is that no arrests have been made yet. There’s a shooter out there who hasn't answered for what they did. The police are asking anyone with a bit of information to step up. Even a small detail could be the key to bringing some kind of peace to the Moate family.

​For now, a young man is gone, and a killer is still walking free. The streets of Tallahassee feel a little heavier today as the search for the truth continues. Everyone is praying that the person responsible is found soon so that Jatives can finally rest and his family can start the long road to healing.

Davonte Wilson, Leeds, Obituary: A hardworking Cintas driver's final shift ended in a wreck that no one saw coming on a quiet Alabama street

Davonte Trashod Wilson was just 31 years old and doing what working men do every day — putting in his shift, making his deliveries, keeping the wheels turning. A Jemison resident, he drove for Cintas and was behind the wheel of a commercial delivery truck on what should've been an ordinary Thursday afternoon. Except it wasn't ordinary at all. Around 1 p.m. on May 7th, at the intersection of Thornton Avenue N.E. and Dorrough Street in Leeds, Wilson's truck met another commercial vehicle in a devastating head-on collision. Just like that, a life built on honest labor was cut short. The Jefferson County Coroner's Office came out Friday and identified Wilson to a community still trying to make sense of it all. Emergency crews rushed to the scene and tried everything they could to pull him back from the brink. But some wrecks are just too violent. The coroner pronounced him dead right there on the asphalt at 1:24 p.m. — barely half an hour after the crash. He never made it h...

Jinx Hairston, Obituary, Death: 45-year-old mother’s last ride to the hospital was in a private car after a brutal stabbing on Penny Drive.

 PENN HILLS, PA – Folks around here are used to quiet nights on Penny Drive. But late Thursday, that peace got shattered. Jinx Hairston, a 45-year-old woman well-known in the neighborhood, lost her life after a stabbing gone horribly wrong. Right around 9:39 p.m., dispatchers got the call. The address was the 700 block of Penny Drive. But here’s the thing that’s sticking with everybody: by the time the cops rolled in, Jinx wasn’t there anymore. Somebody had already tossed her into a private vehicle and hauled her to UPMC Mercy Hospital themselves. That’s the kind of desperation you don’t forget. Doctors and nurses gave it everything they had. But Jinx was gone just a little while after she got there. The next morning, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office made it official. A life cut short at 45. No warning. No goodbyes. Right now, the cops aren’t talking much about what led up to the stabbing. No arrests yet. Not even a suspect name to go on. They’re keeping their cards c...

Casco's Kyle Lunn, Obituary, Death: A Ride Cut Short, Leaving a Child Fighting for Life on Route 302

It's the kind of Thursday night that settles over Casco, Maine, quiet and unassuming, until the unthinkable splits it wide open. On May 7, just before the clock struck 9 p.m., the hum of a 2003 Honda motorcycle cruising down Roosevelt Trail—Route 302 to the locals—was replaced by the sort of screeching metal that makes your blood run cold. Behind the handlebars was 34-year-old Kyle Lunn, a local man out on a ride that he'd probably taken a hundred times before. This time, something went terribly wrong. The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office laid out the grim picture: Lunn's bike crossed that faded center line near Watkins Flowers and slammed head-on into a 2011 Lexus sedan coming the other way. Michael Peterson, a 26-year-old from Naples, was behind the wheel of that car. The impact was so violent it turned a stretch of familiar road into a scene of absolute devastation. When the sirens faded and the dust settled, the worst fears were confirmed. Kyle Lunn died right the...
