DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston said a jury has convicted two men of murdering a transgender woman, and one of those men is on the run.
“On Friday, October 4, jurors found JaQuan Brooks, 25, and Davonte Fore, 26, guilty of malice murder, two counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony stemming from the shooting death of Skyler Gilmore…25, on June 4, 2021,” the District Attorney’s Office said.
Fore was arrested in 2022. The state opposed his release, but he received bond in February 2024 pending trial. He was present when the trial started, but he failed to return to court and is now a fugitive, the District Attorney’s Office said.
“DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Nora Polk, who presided over the trial, revoked Fore’s bond and issued a bench warrant for his arrest,” the District Attorney’s Office said. “Anyone with information on his whereabouts should contact the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit at 404-298-8132.”
