The slaying of an Athens man during a shooting May 2 on Georgia Highway 316 near Winder appears to be linked to gang violence, authorities said.
“In my opinion, it’s definitely gang-related and in retaliation from other things (in Athens),” Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said Friday.
The shooting claimed the life of 20-year-old Ketravian Tyvon Cole, a hip-hop artist in Athens who performed under the name EBE Montana. Cole, a passenger in a car, was shot about midnight and died at the scene.
Another man, Mark Anthony Thomas, 42, of Athens was wounded and transported to a nearby hospital. Two others in the Nissan Versa were unharmed, according to the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office.

A Greene County Superior Court judge ordered rap artist Foogiano to spend five years in prison after he pleaded guilty Monday to cutting off his ankle monitor last December in violation of his probation.
The monitor was found on a roadside in Barrow County, and Foogiano, whose given name is Kwame Khalil Brown, disappeared until his arrest March 11 in Memphis, Tenn.
Brown, 27, who was raised in Greensboro, is a rising hip-hop star given his musical break by Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane, a prominent figure in hip hop.
“He’s very talented and we hope this doesn’t affect his career in the long or short term,” said Norcross attorney Brandon Lewis, who represented Brown at the sentencing in Greene County Superior Court.
