Semaj Jameer Jones was 17 when he was fatally shot on June 13, 2020, during a large gathering on Mayson Avenue NE in Atlanta’s Edgewood neighborhood. Police were called about 5:45 p.m. after reports of gunfire into the crowd; Jones was one of seven people struck. He and 25-year-old Christopher Weaver were taken to hospital alive but both later died of their injuries.

Initial accounts described the shooting as a drive-by and named a black pickup truck as the vehicle believed used in the attack, while the motive remained unclear. Residents reported dozens of shots and bullets striking homes and vehicles along the block.

Jones was remembered as a smiling teenager; a former science teacher recalled him stopping by each morning to say good morning. Later reporting identified a named suspect who had died before charges could be filed, but several key questions about who fired on the crowd and why remain unanswered. If anyone knew Semaj or saw activity on Mayson Avenue that evening, please share what was seen.
