On the evening of New Year’s Eve 2016, 18-year-old Cherish Williams was fatally shot during a robbery at Independence Park in Jonesboro, Georgia. A senior at Mundy’s Mill High School, she was sitting in a car with two friends when three armed men approached, demanded valuables and, as the teens were exiting the vehicle, one of the suspects fired. Her friends tried to rush her to the hospital and flagged down a police officer, but Williams was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Initial descriptions of the attackers were sparse—three Black males, one wearing a red Nike hoodie pulled low over his face and possibly having long hair or dreadlocks. Two days after the killing a tipster provided a name and photos; investigators took those leads to Mundy’s Mill High School and identified several individuals and linked them to other armed robberies in the area.

In January and February 2017 search warrants and arrests followed. Dequan Robinson, 16; Aaron Drummond, 16; and Jakeem Williams, 17, were charged with felony murder in Cherish’s death. Kenan Scurry, 17; Ulas Scurry, 15; and Norman Logan, 18, were arrested on numerous charges tied to armed robbery, home invasion and aggravated assault. Authorities described the crimes as gang-related and indicated the suspects would be charged as adults.

If anyone knew Cherish, her friends that night, or saw activity at Independence Park on December 31, 2016, please share what you remember.
