Cheron Wade, a 48-year-old maintenance worker at Columbia Commons apartments on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Atlanta, was killed by a stray bullet during a drive-by shooting in August 2022. The shooting happened about 10:30 p.m.; police were called initially for shots fired but did not find a victim until a second 911 call an hour later led them to Wade’s body. The intended targets were three other men; Wade was an unsuspecting bystander doing his job when he was struck.

Authorities identified 18-year-old Jaryn Ware as the shooter and arrested him in Barnesville a month later, charging him with murder and three counts of aggravated assault. Ware had an open criminal case in another county at the time. A judge set bond at $100,000 with a $10,000 payment required for release; Ware was initially released into an uncle’s custody and later allowed to live with another relative under home confinement and an ankle monitor after prosecutors sought bond revocation. Ware has pleaded not guilty.
