Tayquan Lampkin Gets Life for Twin Brothers' Murder | Savannah News

A jury in Jasper County just convicted Tayquan Lampkin in a shocking case that left twin brothers dead and two others injured outside a bar in Okatie. After just over three hours of deliberation, the jury found him guilty on all five charges — including two counts of murder — and sentenced him to consecutive life terms plus 35 years for other offenses, all to run simultaneously. The 24-year-old victims, who’d celebrated their birthday just days before the shooting, were unarmed. Prosecutors used surveillance footage, forensic evidence, and even Lampkin’s own recordings of the aftermath to prove he led the “Burton Boys” and fired multiple illegal “Glock switches” — weapons still missing. Lampkin, the first of three defendants to go to trial, will begin serving his sentence in state prison and retains the right to appeal, while his two co-defendants await trial in 2027.
