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...

Hannah Lebel, Alaska: A Wasilla driver faces severe prison time after an allegedly drunk off-road joyride killed a ten-year-old child.

 A fun evening in the Alaska wilderness ended in handcuffs and tragedy for a local resident. A community is demanding answers after a terrible off-road crash took a young life. Law enforcement officials say the entire incident was completely preventable. Alaska State Troopers arrested 32-year-old Hannah Lebel following a fatal rollover accident. The crash happened in the Jim Creek Recreation Area, a well-known spot in the Mat-Su Valley. Lebel now faces a long list of severe legal charges. Lebel was behind the wheel of a side-by-side utility vehicle around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. She was carrying four young passengers through the rugged terrain. Suddenly, the vehicle lost control and flipped entirely onto its roof. When troopers arrived to investigate the scene, they noticed something wrong with Lebel. They observed clear signs of impairment right away. Further investigation led officers to believe she was heavily intoxicated while driving the children. Authorities immediately took L...

Michael Douvio, Orange County: Mechanical failure transforms a routine interstate trip into a horrific double fatality near the Texas border.

 Interstate 10 East is known across the country as a massive commercial artery, but it became the scene of a horrific mechanical tragedy this weekend. A high-speed highway environment leaves virtually zero room for error when something goes wrong with a vehicle. For a veteran rider and his passenger, a single piece of failing rubber changed everything in an instant. State troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety were called out to a major wreck at approximately 10:40 a.m. Callers reported a severe single-vehicle crash involving a three-wheeled motorcycle near mile marker 868. When units arrived, they found a heavily damaged Honda Gold Wing GL1800 trike resting against the median. Investigators quickly began piecing together the chaotic sequence of events that led to the crash. Michael Douvio was behind the handlebars of the heavy three-wheeled machine, navigating the busy lanes with his wife, Lynette, riding on the back. The setup was built for long-haul comfort, complet...
