On the evening of June 13, 2018, a vigil in Atlanta’s Thomasville Heights for Christopher Calhoun was attended by about 200 people. Emotions ran high after an argument broke out in the crowd. Eric Smith, 27, stepped in to try to separate those involved and de-escalate the situation when gunfire erupted. Smith was struck multiple times, was rushed toward a hospital, and died en route.

Atlanta police interviewed numerous witnesses at the chaotic scene and later identified a suspect. Two weeks after the shooting, authorities arrested Jordan Weatherby of Stone Mountain and charged him with murder; he was held in the Fulton County jail without bond. Investigators said they believed the killing was retaliatory and connected to Calhoun’s death.

Did anyone at the vigil or in the neighborhood see something that could clarify what happened that night?
