Correndrick Juvontae Alexander, a 21-year-old Black man from Hartwell, Georgia, was killed on the night of January 27, 2020, in a burst of violence on Friendship Road in Hart County. Deputies were called to the area at about 8 p.m. and found Alexander dead at the scene. A woman, later identified in reporting as Shantiriya Oglesby, was found wounded nearby after suffering gunshot and stab injuries, turning what began as a local emergency call into a tense and fast-moving homicide investigation
that spread across the county before the night was over.
As investigators tried to reconstruct what had happened, authorities named Larrendrick Rashad Tabor of Hartwell as the suspect and launched an overnight manhunt involving multiple agencies, including the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, local deputies, bloodhounds, and a state patrol helicopter. The search ended the next morning, January 28, when Tabor was arrested on Georgia Highway 172 in front of South Hart Elementary School after law enforcement had saturated the area looking for him. Early reports said the case might have had gang-related aspects, and some coverage also noted investigators were looking at whether the shooting could be connected to a separate killing in Anderson County, South Carolina, though those early suggestions were part of the unfolding investigation rather than a final courtroom finding.
The case moved quickly from arrest to formal prosecution. A Hart County grand jury later indicted Tabor in connection with Alexander’s death and the attack on Oglesby, with reporting stating that prosecutors accused him of shooting Alexander and shooting and stabbing Oglesby in an attempt to kill her. By the end of 2020, the case had reached its final major turn: after initially turning down a plea offer, Tabor pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. In the end, the public record that emerged from the case was not one of an unsolved mystery, but of a young man’s life cut short on a January night, an injured survivor left behind, an all-night pursuit through Hart County, and a prosecution that concluded with a guilty plea rather than a trial.
