Kemoni Mack was 9 years old when he was shot and killed inside an apartment at The Station at Richmond Hill in southeast Atlanta on the evening of February 23, 2022. Officers responding to a 911 call transported the boy to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Police identified a 16-year-old male as the person who fired the shot. The teen turned himself in days after the shooting and was taken to a youth detention center after the Atlanta Police Department said it had established probable cause to arrest him. Charges reported included murder in the second degree, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, cruelty to children in the second degree, and possession of a handgun by a person under the age of 18. Several people were present in the apartment at the time; Kemoni’s mother described him as a good student who had recently made the AB honor roll.

If anyone was in or near that apartment on February 23, 2022, or has information about what happened, please come forward.
