In the summer of 2020, the life of 24-year-old Centrazeuz Wiggins was cut short by gunfire on Decatur Court in Columbus, Georgia. On the evening of June 11th, Wiggins was fatally shot, marking another tragic loss to gun violence in the community. The incident prompted an investigation by local law enforcement, who worked to piece together the events of that fateful night.
For more than two years, the case remained without a resolution, leaving a void for those who knew and loved Wiggins.
However, in September 2022, a significant breakthrough occurred when authorities located and arrested a suspect. The individual taken into custody was identified as Rodney Favors. His arrest brought a renewed sense of hope for justice for Centrazeuz Wiggins and his family.
Following his apprehension, Rodney Favors faced a series of serious charges in connection with the death of Wiggins. These charges included one count of murder, one count of reckless conduct, one count of criminal damage to property in the second degree, and one count of receipt, possession, or transfer of a firearm by a convicted felon. As the legal process began to unfold, the case was set to proceed to trial. However, in October 2023, it was reported that the murder trial for Favors had been delayed. The reasons for the delay were not publicly detailed, and as of early 2026, information regarding a new trial date or a final resolution in the case has not been made available. The community and the family of Centrazeuz Wiggins await further developments in the pursuit of justice.
