A dispute over a parking incident left Larry Jones fatally wounded. On the evening of March 26, 2019, the 38-year-old Atlanta man, also known as Lil’ Larry, was shot in the back at an apartment complex on Vanira Avenue in southeast Atlanta after warning a man backing a Dodge pickup that he was too close to Jones’s vehicle. Bullets entered Jones’s car through the trunk and driver’s seat and one struck him. He was taken to Grady Hospital in serious condition and survived more than a year and a half confined to a wheelchair before dying on November 28, 2020, at age 40. The Fulton County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators later identified a suspect and on January 10, 2021, an arrest warrant was obtained for 43-year-old Lorenzo Harris, who was already in custody on unrelated charges when the warrant was served. A Fulton County grand jury indicted Harris in August 2021 on murder, felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery, and firearms charges; he pleaded not guilty. Anyone with information about the shooting or who knew Larry is asked to come forward.
