CRIME & SAFETY
PRISON ROUNDUP: April 2024
Shane Tassi, pictured at top left, now is the final defendant in the February 2023 shooting death of Syee Havior, who was a senior at Baldwin High. The other three men implicated in the homicide – Tremon Washington, Malik Altravon Smith and Derrius Holmes – have all taken mirroring 20-year plea deals. Most recent to plea was Holmes, who drove the car that night, according to Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit prosecutors. Holmes pleaded guilty last week to one count of home invasion, receiving a straight 20-year prison sentence with no probation. Holmes also agreed to "testify fully and truthfully...should one of his co-defendants exercise their right to have a jury trial." That co-defendant is Tassi, who the District Attorney's Office has identified as the trigger man.
