On a December evening in 2015, Randy Justin Ramos, a 29-year-old male, was fatally shot in the parking lot of the Teleperformance call center near the Augusta Mall in Augusta, Georgia, where he worked as a supervisor. The single gunshot wound to his chest proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital at 6:13 p.m. on December 10, 2015.
Known for his entrepreneurial spirit and caring personality, the death of the Augusta Technical College student and father of a young son sent shockwaves through the community.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office launched an extensive investigation that soon pointed to the incident being a targeted attack. Their investigation led to the arrests of three men in connection with the murder. The first to be taken into custody was Marquise Terrell Yarbary, then 24, who was already in jail on a separate warrant. Yarbary, who had a history of violent crimes including armed robbery and aggravated assault, was charged with murder. Not long after, authorities arrested a second suspect, 18-year-old Tarez Gordon, who also faced charges of murder, armed robbery, and weapon possession.
The investigation continued, and about 18 months after the initial arrests, a third suspect, 29-year-old Jesse Daniel Jackson, was apprehended in Morgan County. He was charged with murder, armed robbery, and weapon possession by a convicted felon. Investigators believed that two of the suspects were the shooters, while the third drove the getaway vehicle. At the time of their arrests, both Yarbary and Gordon had pleaded not guilty to the murder charges.
While the initial arrests brought some measure of progress, the full resolution of the case against all three suspects remains unclear from available online sources. Detailed information regarding the trials, potential plea agreements, convictions, and sentencing for Marquise Terrell Yarbary, Tarez Gordon, and Jesse Daniel Jackson in the murder of Randy Ramos is not readily available in the public domain. The specific outcomes of the charges against each of the accused men, which would bring a final chapter to this tragic story, have not been detailed in the reports stemming from the initial investigation and arrests.
