Jonah Poole was 17 when he was fatally shot in the chest on November 5, 2020, at the Wellington Point apartments on Maner Terrace in Smyrna, Georgia. He was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital but did not survive his injuries.

An arrest was made the next day. Josiah Maurice Oubre, also 17 at the time, was taken into custody at his home in East Point and charged with murder and aggravated assault. According to the arrest warrant, Oubre went to the apartment complex to meet Poole and smoke, and the encounter became violent. Law enforcement described the matter as an active homicide investigation and did not release a detailed motive.

Friends and family held a celebration of Jonah’s life on November 14, 2020, at F.L. Sims Funeral Home in Smyrna. If anyone saw Jonah at Wellington Point that day or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
