On April 12, 2017, Jordan Morris, a 22-year-old African American man, was chased through the parking lot of a Super Inn in Decatur, Georgia, by a man carrying an AK-47 style rifle. Witnesses reported the pursuit and hearing as many as 10 shots. Morris was found in the grass with a fatal gunshot wound to his left cheek and was pronounced dead shortly before 5:00 p.m. after DeKalb County police arrived.

Investigators treated the shooting as the result of an ongoing dispute rather than a random act. Surveillance footage captured the pursuit and an image of the suspect; that video was circulated publicly and generated tips that helped identify the gunman. On April 26, 2017, 23-year-old Javian Nesby was arrested by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Fugitive Unit on U.S. 78 in the Stone Mountain area and charged with murder.

Does anyone have information about Morris’s life in Decatur or the events leading up to the shooting?
