Timothy Barnes Jr was 16 and a student at Central Gwinnett High School when he was shot while waiting for his school bus in the Saddle Shoals neighborhood of Lawrenceville, Georgia. Timothy was rushed to a hospital, placed on life support, and after being declared brain dead his family chose to remove life support and he died.

Police identified Abdi as the primary suspect and took him into custody the same day. He was initially charged with aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; after Timothy’s death the charges were upgraded to include malice murder. An 18-year-old was also detained and later released without charges. Timothy’s family says the two had been friends and had recently fought after joking around, a dispute the family believes may have led to the shooting.

Does anyone have information about Timothy, the bus stop that morning, or what led up to the altercation?
