Anna Jones was 18 when she was shot and killed in Carrollton, Georgia, on the night of July 30, 2022. A recent graduate of Mount Zion High School, she was an honors student, a cheerleader, and planning to start at the University of West Georgia. Anna and friends were sitting in a parked car in a parking deck near Adamson Square when a man walked to the deck and began firing into their vehicle. Anna was taken to Tanner Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Investigators identified 47-year-old Richard Sigman, an instructor at the University of West Georgia, as the shooter. He had been involved earlier that evening in a verbal altercation at a nearby pizza restaurant and was seen armed; security had asked him to leave. Police arrested Sigman; he was charged with murder, three counts of aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Authorities do not believe Anna was the intended target or that she and Sigman knew each other.

Anna’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit and is working to establish Anna’s Law to promote gun violence prevention awareness. Did anyone in Carrollton see or hear anything that night that could shed more light on what happened?
