On the evening of May 23, 2022, 21-year-old Jazhae Monta Marshall was fatally shot at the Dunwoody Pointe apartments off Roswell Road in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Marshall had been living there with his girlfriend and her two nephews. A physical altercation between Marshall and his girlfriend had taken place earlier that night; after that fight ended, 17-year-old Jamari PeeWee Marable allegedly shot Marshall multiple times. Marshall was found at the scene and had died of gunshot wounds.

The shooting was witnessed by Marable’s 12-year-old brother, and investigators initially considered self-defense before concluding Marshall did not pose a threat when he was shot. Warrants were issued for Marable, who surrendered to Fulton County authorities on May 28, 2022; he was charged with murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and cruelty to children. Marshall’s mother disputed that he had been physical with his girlfriend and described him as a good person.
