Shondricka J’nay Adams was 18 when she was shot dead in Macon, Georgia on the morning of May 10, 2018. She had spent part of her birthday evening at a hospital with her older sister for the sister’s new baby, then went to the Davis Homes apartment complex on Leaf Street. Shortly after 5:00 a.m., gunfire struck while Shondricka was seated in the backseat of a Jeep Wrangler with a 16-year-old male companion.

Shondricka was found outside the vehicle with a fatal gunshot wound to her back. The 16-year-old survived after being shot in the leg. Investigators looked into whether the shooters had been aiming at someone in a nearby apartment, and the surviving teen and other friends cooperated with police, but no suspects or clear motive were identified. A year after the killing, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office reported the case remained unsolved.
