Sariah Wilcoxson was 17 when she was shot and killed on the evening of January 11, 2016, on Flat Shoals Road in DeKalb County, Georgia. She had been walking home after accompanying a friend to a MARTA bus stop and a passerby found her body on the sidewalk. Family members said she had aspirations of attending military school and was not involved in trouble.

Investigators identified 29-year-old Deandre Seabrooks after surveillance footage showed him speaking with Wilcoxson inside a nearby convenience store shortly before the shooting. Authorities said the killing appeared to be retaliation connected to a dispute Seabrooks had with Wilcoxson’s brother. Prosecutors said Seabrooks used an AK-47 and later tried to bribe a key witness to change a statement.

A jury convicted Seabrooks of murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in February 2017, and he received life without parole plus ten years. Wilcoxson’s mother later filed a wrongful death suit against the housing complex owners and operators; that suit was settled in 2019.
