In the early morning hours of February 7, 2017, 17-year-old Kobe Williams was found fatally shot behind a building at the Nesbit Ferry Crossing Apartments on Saratoga Drive in Roswell, Georgia. He was pronounced dead at the scene; Williams lived in the complex with his family and had attended Centennial High School.

A week after the killing, police arrested two men in connection with the shooting: 20-year-old Jordan Chappell Williams, the victim’s older brother, and 19-year-old Jahmal Christopher Samuel. Authorities say the shooting was a case of mistaken identity. Investigators allege Jordan Williams and Samuel meant to target someone they believed had robbed a mutual acquaintance, and that Samuel opened fire, fatally striking Kobe, while Jordan was present and later found in possession of the weapon.

Both men were charged with murder, participation in criminal street gang activity, theft by receiving stolen property, and unlawful communication of a threat to deter assistance to a gang member. Anyone with information about Kobe or the case is asked to come forward.
