AUGUSTA, Ga. – Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr revealed that five individuals have been charged in connection with the May 22nd fatal shooting of 28-year-old Kameron Mason at the MacArthur Park Apartments in Augusta.

The shooting reportedly occurred after Mason, who served as the complex’s Property Manager, confronted the group for attempting to use the apartment pool after hours, despite not being residents.

An argument is alleged to have ensued, during which two of the defendants fired multiple rounds in Mason’s direction, killing him.

The defendants are said to be affiliated with Extort Anybody (EA), a local street gang closely linked to Loyalty Over Everything (LOE). Carr’s Gang Prosecution Unit, featuring a regional prosecutor and investigator based in Augusta, had previously teamed up with the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office to indict 30 alleged gang members on 333 charges, tied to an investigation regarding Loyalty Over Everything and their purported connection to the January 2022 death of eight-year-old Arbrie Anthony.

This prior investigation also resulted in the recovery of 15 lbs. of fentanyl – enough to kill 3.5 million Georgians.

“Kameron Mason was a victim simply doing his job, and he should have never lost his life in this manner,” stated Attorney General Chris Carr. “Gang-related violence will not be tolerated in Richmond County or throughout our state, and we are committed to prosecuting those involved to the fullest extent of the law. We appreciate our collaboration with the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office and will persist in our efforts to seek justice for Kameron and his family.”

This case was investigated by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Attorney General’s Gang Prosecution Unit.  

“My gratitude goes to Attorney General Chris Carr for his proactive stance through the Georgia Attorney General’s Gang Prosecution Unit,” expressed Richmond County Sheriff Eugene Brantley. “Gangs remain a significant concern in our community and statewide, fueling a major portion of the violent crime that affects our citizens. Through collective efforts and utilizing all available resources, we aim to send a decisive message that gang violence is unacceptable. Our mutual goal is to hold violent offenders accountable, diminish crime rates, and make every neighborhood in Richmond County safer for families.”
