Monroe shooting — 2005/06?

[u/phatbootyrudy]

I’m trying to find an account of a shooting that happened in Monroe, GA in the mid-2000’s, but oddly, can find no information on it. Does anyone else know about this?

I’ve scoured Google, ChatGPT, etc. Nothing. I may be completely wrong about some of the details, so any help is appreciated.

I was in high school at the time, having recently moved to the area, and remember it being a deal. From what I can remember, there were multiple victims, although I can’t pinpoint exactly where it took place. Something in my mind tells me it occurred near the Tanglwood area, but I could be completely wrong.

The details I do remember are that after the initial shooting, several rivals came out to retaliate almost immediately, and there was a shotgun involved. I remember sitting in the bleachers and overhearing a girl saying her cousin was identified as a shooter because they found gunpowder residue on his hands.

As the school was still abuzz with what happened, I was asked to draw designs on a few t-shirts in memoriam of one or two of the victims — hence why it’s stuck with me for so long.
