Michael Ezzard Jr., 22, was fatally shot on the evening of May 16, 2022, outside the Five Points Shopping Center on Roswell Street in Smyrna, Georgia. Surveillance video shows him holding a door open for two women and talking on the sidewalk when a man in a black hoodie approached from behind, displayed a handgun, and after a brief struggle shot Ezzard. The shooter then fled in a gray four-door Honda driven by a woman, last seen heading westbound on Hawthorne Avenue.

Smyrna police said they did not believe the shooting was a robbery and described the attack as calculated. By the end of June investigators identified a primary suspect as Terrill Anton Jones and issued warrants charging him with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Jones was later located in South Tucson, Arizona, where he ran into traffic, was tased and handcuffed by officers, became unresponsive, and was pronounced dead at the scene. After his death the Smyrna Police Department considered Ezzard’s homicide case closed.

Michael’s family remembered him as a beloved only child and an aspiring entrepreneur who was well-loved in his community. Does anyone have information about Michael, the people seen in the video, or the gray Honda that could add clarity to what happened?
