Authorities have identified the man killed in a shooting early Sunday morning in Rome as 22-year-old Chancellore Donaldson, according to Floyd County Deputy Coroner Brent Whatley.

Whatley said Donaldson’s body will be sent to the GBI Crime Lab for an autopsy as the investigation continues.

The shooting occurred around 12:42 a.m. on Sunday, April 19, 2026, in the parking lot of the Family Dollar on North Broad Street. Rome Police say officers responded to reports of gunfire and found Donaldson suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later died.

Investigators recovered evidence at the scene and say they are actively pursuing leads, but are continuing to ask for the public’s help.

Police believe there were multiple people in the area at the time of the shooting and say someone may have seen or heard something critical to the case. Anyone with photos, video, or information is urged to come forward.

Tips can be reported by calling 9-1-1 or the anonymous Crime Tip Line at 706-236-5000. Officials say even small details could help identify the person responsible.

The Rome Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division continues to investigate, and additional information will be released as it becomes available.
