Beverly Jenkins, a 49-year-old Black woman, was shot in the head and killed while driving through southwest Atlanta shortly after midnight on August 12, 2018. She had been returning home after a late shift at City of Refuge, where she worked helping homeless mothers and families. A witness saw her green Honda Odyssey run off the roadway near Hopkins Street and Westview Drive; officers found her dead in the driver’s seat.

Early public statements offered little on motive and police released surveillance images of four men seen in the area after the shooting. Shell casings from Jenkins’ killing were later matched to casings from a separate carjacking and shooting on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard, a link investigators said helped identify those tied to her death. Authorities described the crimes as random and said the suspects attempted to carjack Jenkins as she sat in her minivan.

Relatives and coworkers remembered Jenkins as a loving mother and grandmother devoted to helping others. Does anyone have information about Jenkins, the scene that night, or the people seen on surveillance who might add details to the case?
