Kasha Newton, 55, was fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting in Rex, Georgia. On a Tuesday evening in late January 2022 she was standing in the driveway of a home on Wagner Place when a passing car opened fire; she suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Her son was present and tried to save her. Newton was taken to a hospital, underwent six surgeries and showed signs of responsiveness before dying on the evening of Thursday, January 27, 2022.

The Clayton County Police Department investigated the shooting and said they did not believe the attack was random, but no specific motive has been announced. Friends and family described Newton as a sweet, quiet woman with no known enemies; she was a mother of three and a grandmother of two. Investigators asked the public for tips and nearby surveillance footage, and as of June 2022 no suspects had been publicly identified or arrested.
