On a warm evening in July 2018, 34-year-old Christian Broder was in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood celebrating at a wedding. As the event ended, Broder and three others stood outside the Capital City Country Club waiting for a rideshare when a vehicle approached and a then 17-year-old, Jayden Myrick, emerged with a handgun and demanded their valuables. The group handed over possessions; as Myrick returned to the getaway car Broder followed him, reportedly to reason with him and retrieve his belongings. Myrick turned and fired one shot, striking Broder in the stomach. Broder, a husband and father to a nine-month-old daughter, was taken to hospital and died of his injuries on July 20, 2018 after nearly two weeks of treatment.

Myrick was arrested for the killing. The case record notes he had been on probation for an armed robbery committed at age 14 and had multiple misconduct violations while in juvenile detention. At trial he acknowledged gang affiliation. A jury later convicted Myrick on counts that included murder, felony murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and criminal gang activity; he received life without parole plus additional life terms. The getaway driver, Torrus Fleetwood, entered an Alford plea and was sentenced to 30 years.

Did anyone who knew Christian Broder or who was at the wedding notice anything unusual that night or have information that wasn’t shared with investigators?
