On June 19, 2022, 17-year-old Jamarquez McCrary was shot and killed in the middle of the afternoon at the Villages at Carver apartment complex on Moury Avenue in southwest Atlanta. He and an 18-year-old friend, Nyriek Olds, were found in a breezeway with multiple gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead after fire and medical personnel arrived. Jamarquez had recently graduated and was planning to start his own business; he was known to some by the nickname Fat.

Atlanta police later released Ring camera footage showing a person of interest running from one of the apartment buildings in daylight and asked the public for help identifying that individual. On December 6, 2022, Darshae Barnes was arrested and charged in connection with the deaths; the charges included two counts of murder, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder, possession of a firearm by a minor, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

A vigil for Jamarquez and Nyriek was held on June 19, 2023, at the same complex; gunfire broke out during the remembrance, producing another homicide and one person hospitalized. Does anyone who knew Jamarquez or was in that neighborhood in June 2022 have information that could help?
