April Sparks, 33, was killed on the evening of Sunday, August 7, 2022, after stopping at Rosa L. Burney Park in Atlanta, Georgia, to watch a community softball game. She had just left her father’s home with her children when she made the impromptu detour. An argument at the game turned to gunfire; six people were shot. Sparks and 31-year-old Rashad Rogers died of their injuries. A 6-year-old girl was among the four other victims and was left in critical condition.

The Atlanta Police Department opened a homicide investigation and released photographs of a man who was first described as a suspect and later classified as a person of interest wanted for questioning. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active. Sparks’ family has publicly urged anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone was at Rosa L. Burney Park that night or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
