On the afternoon of March 1, 2019, 19-year-old Jaleen Harrell was shot in the driveway of a home on Shoal Court in a Lawrenceville, Georgia cul-de-sac. He was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center but died of his wounds. Investigators determined Harrell did not live in that neighborhood.

Witnesses reported an altercation between Harrell and at least one other person before the gunfire. A white Acura sedan — later identified as an Acura TL — was seen speeding away and was captured on a neighbor’s surveillance camera. Marijuana was found at the scene, and investigators pursued a possible drug-related robbery motive.

Two men, Javion Tremir Caldwell and Shamarii Bonner, were indicted by a Gwinnett County grand jury in June 2019. Court testimony at Caldwell’s trial said Harrell had arranged to buy marijuana, an argument over a suspected counterfeit bill led to a struggle, and Bonner allegedly fired the shot. Caldwell was convicted of felony murder predicated on marijuana distribution and received a life sentence with parole possible; his appeal was denied in October 2023. An arrest warrant was later issued for Bonner, who had ties to Lawrenceville and an address in Petersburg, Virginia.

Does anyone have information about Harrell, the white Acura TL, or Bonner’s whereabouts that could help clarify what happened that day?
