On July 14, 2019, 19-year-old Sijeria Parks was shot in the head and later died after an attempted robbery at the Anthos at Chase Ridge apartments on Georgia Highway 85, just outside Riverdale. Parks, a recent high school graduate and mother of two who planned to attend cosmetology school, had lured a man she met on Instagram to the complex as part of a plan to rob him. The intended victim was armed and a shootout erupted; Parks was struck during the exchange. A witness said Parks ran to a neighbor’s home asking if she had been shot before collapsing and was taken to a local hospital where she died.

Following the shooting, four people were arrested and charged under Georgia law for murder during the commission of a felony, armed robbery, and related counts: Clifford Devon Bonds, Beldon Roger Sparks, Towheed Sylvester Gary, and Juanita Cassandra Jones. Jones, identified as Parks’ cousin, admitted she knew about the planned robbery after giving investigators inconsistent accounts. All four were booked into the Clayton County jail and held without bond.

Does anyone have information about Parks, her plans at the time, or about the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
