A Saturday night at the Atlanta Fair turned deadly on March 5, 2022, when 16-year-old Creekside High School freshman Joshua Adetunja was fatally shot near Pryor and Bass streets in southwest Atlanta. The shooting followed a fight that broke out as the fair was letting out; the area was crowded with pedestrians and vehicles. Two other teenagers, aged 14 and 19, were wounded and expected to survive.

Police said the altercation grew out of a pre-existing dispute and that Joshua was part of the group involved before shots were fired. Homicide investigators interviewed numerous witnesses and reviewed hours of surveillance footage to reconstruct the sequence of events.

On March 25, 2022, Atlanta police announced arrests in the case: 19-year-old Marquez D. Harris and two unnamed juveniles. Harris was arrested by a fugitive task force and charged with murder, aggravated assault with intent to murder, and criminal attempt to commit murder; investigators believe Harris was the shooter and the juveniles acted as accomplices and were charged with murder.

Did anyone at the fair that night see what led to the initial fight or the moments immediately afterward?
