Rico Lyons was 21 when he was shot dead in Atlanta on November 29, 2021. Reports say he was fatally wounded by gunfire late that autumn, and his family remembers him as someone who loved to dance, sing, and rap and who could light up a room.

Much of Rico’s youth was reportedly spent in and out of behavioral centers and juvenile detention facilities, and his family described him as sweet, friendly, and often judged by his appearance. His family sought community support as they made funeral arrangements.

If anyone knew Rico or has information about the November 29 shooting, please come forward.
