On the evening of November 25, 2020, Jerry Carr, a 20-year-old African American man and South Atlanta High School graduate, was found outside a grocery store on Moreland Avenue in Atlanta with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 10 p.m. Family and friends remembered him as ambitious, kind-hearted and dedicated to helping others, with plans to become a real estate agent and support his mother.

Within days, Atlanta police identified two suspects, Jacob Ingram and Jamon Johnson, and secured warrants for their arrest. On December 3 Ingram was taken into custody after a traffic stop in southwest Atlanta; Johnson was arrested on December 16 in southeast Atlanta. Both were booked into the Fulton County jail and charged with murder in connection with Carr’s death.

Anyone who knew Jerry, saw activity around the grocery store on Moreland Avenue that night, or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
