Jireh Morris, 30, was shot and killed after arranging to meet his cousin, Michael Blair Stewart, Jr., at an apartment complex on Bouldercrest Road in Atlanta on December 5, 2020. The pair had reconnected over music and planned to collaborate on a song. During the encounter Stewart shot Morris; despite severe wounds Morris called 911 and, over a 17-minute call, repeatedly identified his cousin as the shooter. A neighbor heard the gunshots and saw Morris’s car moving slowly before it struck a tree in the parking lot.

DeKalb County officers found Morris critically injured; body camera audio captured him naming Michael Stewart as his assailant. Morris was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and died of three gunshot wounds. Authorities identified Michael Blair Stewart, Jr., then 35, as the suspect and later located and charged him. The trial produced a conviction for Felony Murder, Aggravated Assault, and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, though the jury was not presented with a clear motive.

Did anyone in the area know Jireh or recall seeing him or his car at that apartment complex on December 5, 2020?
