On February 14, 2021, a burst of gunfire outside a home on Uniwattee Trail in Dacula, Georgia, left 20-year-old Faith Burns of Loganville with at least one gunshot wound; she was taken to a local hospital and later died. Police initially described the shooting, which occurred about 1:30 p.m., as connected to a domestic altercation.

Investigators quickly identified 17-year-old Damia Mitchell as a primary suspect and sought warrants charging her with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm by a person under 18. Authorities said Burns did not know Mitchell directly but had been at the home of Mitchell’s ex-girlfriend when Mitchell and four other teenage girls arrived and opened fire; prosecutors reported Mitchell sent threatening text messages beforehand.

Four other teenage girls were later arrested in connection with the shooting, including two 16-year-olds from Snellville and two 17-year-olds from Loganville, each charged with felony murder and aggravated assault. Does anyone have information about Faith or about the events on Uniwattee Trail that afternoon?
