Christopher Calhoun was 21 when he was shot during a shootout at an apartment complex on New Town Circle in southeast Atlanta on the night of June 11, 2018. He suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Another man, Corey Miller, was shot multiple times in the legs during the same incident; police found the apartment where Miller was located littered with guns. Two people who brought Calhoun to the hospital were detained after firearms were found in their vehicle.

Two days later, on the evening of June 13, a vigil for Calhoun in the 300 block of Thomasville Boulevard drew nearly 200 people. What began as a memorial turned deadly when an argument escalated into gunfire. Twenty-seven-year-old Eric Smith, reportedly trying to de-escalate, was shot multiple times and died en route to the hospital. Authorities believed the vigil shooting was retaliation for Calhoun’s death. In the weeks afterward police arrested and charged Jordan Weatherby of Stone Mountain with murder in Smith’s killing; he was booked into the Fulton County jail and held without bond.

Are there people who attended the vigil or who knew Christopher Calhoun willing to share what they remember from those nights?
