Jaiden Williams was convicted on multiple charges, including felony murder, for the July 2021 shooting death of 17-year-old Orbit Pough III outside a Kroger store in Grayson, Gwinnett County. Prosecutors argued that the incident stemmed from a botched drug deal rather than a friendship, as Williams claimed. He was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole, plus five years on probation, highlighting the tragic consequences of youth violence, according to Gwinnett District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson.
