Adelisa Murtovic was 21 when she was killed following a drug deal that turned violent in Johns Creek, Georgia. On the evening of October 29, 2018, she went with her 20-year-old boyfriend, Michael Smith, and an 18-year-old acquaintance, Deshaun Flournoy, to buy marijuana from 20-year-old Antoine Sims at the Retreat at Johns Creek apartments. That meeting allegedly was a setup for a robbery by Smith and Flournoy.

A shootout erupted; Adelisa was waiting in the passenger seat and was struck by a bullet. Smith and Flournoy fled, and it is believed Sims then took the vehicle with Adelisa inside. Early on October 30 firefighters in Lawrenceville extinguished a burning car and found Adelisa’s body; investigators determined she had been shot before the fire.

Warrants were issued charging Antoine Sims, Michael Smith, and Deshaun Flournoy with felony murder. Smith and Flournoy also faced aggravated assault, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; Sims faced additional counts including arson, concealing a death, and marijuana sales. Smith and Flournoy turned themselves in by the end of November 2018; Sims was arrested months later in Wisconsin. If anyone knew Adelisa or has information about what happened, please share details with investigators.
