In the late hours of a Friday night in Rome, Georgia, the life of 21-year-old Kahtravious Jermaine Montgomery, known to his friends and family as 'Tra,' was tragically cut short. On October 14, 2016, at approximately 11:27 p.m., emergency services received a call about a shooting on Roseway Circle. When police arrived, they found Montgomery lying in the front yard of a residence, suffering from a gunshot wound to his chest.
Paramedics quickly began treating his injuries and transported him to Floyd Medical Center. Despite extensive medical efforts, Montgomery succumbed to his injuries in the early morning hours of October 15, 2016. The Rome Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division immediately launched a homicide investigation into the young man's death, beginning the arduous process of speaking with potential witnesses and searching for leads.
Physical evidence at the scene suggested a harrowing final few moments for Montgomery. Investigators believe he was shot near the street and, in a desperate attempt to get help, crawled several feet to the front yard where he was ultimately found. Reports indicated that his girlfriend had been with him just minutes before the shooting but had gone inside the house to lie down.
In the months and years that followed, the investigation into Kahtravious Montgomery's murder remained active. Detectives continued to seek the public's assistance, hoping that someone with information would come forward. However, despite their ongoing efforts and the identification of potential witnesses, no arrests have been publicly announced in connection with the case. As of the latest available reports, the shooting death of Kahtravious Jermaine Montgomery remains an unsolved homicide, leaving his family and community still waiting for justice.
