Gang Member Indicted in Deadly Albany State University Homecoming Shootings
ALBANY, Ga.—A member of a criminal street gang has been indicted on charges including murder and aggravated assault in connection with two shootings at Albany State University (ASU) during the school’s Homecoming festivities on October 19, 2024.
Attorney General Chris Carr announced the indictment of Jeremy Marshall, 18, of Albany. According to the indictment, Marshall is a member of the Blockos (also known as the 4 Blickie Gang), and the shootings stemmed from an ongoing rivalry with another gang, the Purps.
The first shooting occurred near a campus concert, where several people were either injured or hit by gunfire, including a 16-year-old female, a 17-year-old female, and a 20-year-old female. Approximately five minutes later and 600 yards away, a second shooting took place on Sands Drive, where De’Marion Tashawn Daniels, 19, of Newnan, was shot and killed. A 13-year-old female also suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.
“This should have been a weekend of celebration for the Albany State community. Instead, one teenager lost his life, several others were injured, and hundreds of innocent people were put in harm’s way,” said Attorney General Carr.
The indictment, presented to a Dougherty County Grand Jury on August 20, 2025, charges Marshall with:
- 1 count of Malice Murder
- 2 counts of Felony Murder
- 8 counts of Aggravated Assault
- 12 counts of Violation of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act
- 5 counts of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony
- 1 count of Criminal Damage to Property in the First Degree
The case was investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), the ASU Police Department, and the Attorney General’s Gang Prosecution Unit.
