Ricardo Knox, a 28-year-old Black fourth-grade teacher from Atlanta, was fatally shot on November 16, 2020, near his apartment at the Westhaven at Vinings complex in Cobb County. Police described the incident as a carjacking that went wrong and opened an investigation. No public announcements of arrests or suspect identifications have been made.

Knox taught at Slater Elementary School and was remembered by colleagues and friends as deeply committed to at-risk youth, often using his own resources to support students. He was reportedly working on his doctorate at the time of his death. His family held a private funeral on November 24, 2020, and planned a larger memorial service in the months that followed.
