On November 26, 2022, 12-year-old Zyion Luh Hot Charles was shot and killed on the 17th Street Bridge near Atlantic Station in Atlanta. The group he was with had been escorted off Atlantic Station by security for unruly behavior and violating curfew; they then moved to the nearby bridge where a dispute escalated and shots were fired. Zyion died at the scene.

Fifteen-year-old Cameron Jackson was also shot that night and later died in hospital; four other youths were injured. Atlanta police said they believed the shooting was gang-related and that Cameron Jackson was the intended target, with Zyion likely an unintended victim caught in the crossfire.

Investigators arrested six teenagers in connection with the case and charged them as adults, including counts of murder, aggravated assault and violations of the street gang terrorism and prevention act. The mothers of both victims attended court hearings and spoke about the families’ loss. Does anyone have information about the events on the 17th Street Bridge that night or knew Zyion’s movements before the shooting?
