Christopher Brooks, 53, was killed on July 5, 2020, while helping a driver at a Chevron on Pryor Road in Atlanta. He was struck during a triple shooting at the gas station and was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people were wounded; one was grazed and taken to a hospital, and another went to a hospital by private vehicle.

The shooting happened across the street from the Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks had been killed the previous month, and an 8-year-old girl had been killed nearby the day before Christopher Brooks’s death. Those consecutive incidents heightened public concern about violence in the area.

In December 2020, Clayton County deputies arrested 29-year-old Jamir Walker after spotting him loitering; he was found to be wanted by Atlanta police in connection with Christopher Brooks’s murder and was turned over to Atlanta homicide detectives. If anyone has information about the July 5 shooting or knew Christopher Brooks, please share what you know.
