NEW ARRESTS BY GRIFFIN PD

  

As of July 28, 2026, the Griffin Police Department has made two additional arrests in connection with the July 11 

homicide at Raymond Head Park. Kenijay Ponder was taken into custody on July 23 in Henry County, and Josiah 

Starks was taken into custody on July 28 for their roles in the murder of Malcom Freeling.

Since the incident, the Griffin Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division, with assistance from the Field 

Investigation Team (FIT) Unit, has worked diligently to identify all individuals involved. Our goal is to ensure that 

everyone responsible is brought to justice, to provide closure for the victim’s family, and to reassure the community 

that individuals who act with such reckless disregard for human life will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the 

law.

The Griffin Police Department supports community events and encourages anyone planning a large community 

gathering to obtain proper permits and coordinate with their local law enforcement partners to ensure their event 

remains safe, secure, and family-friendl
