Jamarion King was shot while he was walking home from a barbershop in Georgia. The barbershop is only a minute’s walk from the street where the 19-year-old was shot on July 3, according to reports.

 Jamarion King’s uncle, Eric King, expressed his feelings on his nephew’s 19 years of life.

 “I used to keep Jay all day every day, and he didn’t do nothing but smile, and he was respectful,” Eric King told WALB.

Patricia Duncan, 52, was shot on her front porch mere hours after King was killed, according to police.  Authorities believe the two cases are interconnected.

WRDW reports that on Wednesday, Albany police named 17-year-old Jaquan McIntyre and 20-year-old Kayveon Lyles as suspects in King’s murder.  Lyles was on parole at the time of the shooting, and McIntyre was out on bond for past crimes.

Greg Edwards, the district attorney, provided an explanation of the bond’s issuance and the state’s recommendations in this case.

“With the person on parole, with this situation, the state’s recommendation if he’s in custody again is going to be no bond or any other conditions,” Edwards said. “With the person out on bond again, it is very likely for the DA to recommend no bond, but again, the decision is up to the judge.”

A $2,000 reward is being offered by the Albany Police Department (APD) for information that results in the apprehension of the two murder suspects who have been accused of killing the 19-year-old.

WALB reports that 17-year-old McIntyre is wanted for murder, three counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, and possession of a firearm while committing certain offenses.

20-year-old Lyles is wanted on a number of charges, including possession of a firearm while committing certain crimes, aggravated assault with a firearm (3 counts), and murder.  APD is also searching for Jy’Quan Zyquan Jordan, age 21, who is a person of interest in this investigation, in addition to the two wanted individuals.
