Kendarius Edwards Jr., a 9-month-old infant, was killed on May 10, 2014, in Stone Mountain, Georgia, when assailants forced their way into his family’s home and opened fire. The shooting occurred inside a bathroom where the baby, his mother Tanyika Smith and two other women had been cornered; more than 20 rounds were fired. Kendarius was shot multiple times at point-blank range and died of his wounds. Tanyika Smith was struck eight times, and the baby’s grandmother and a family friend were also wounded.

According to the case account, the attack grew out of an internal gang dispute. The perpetrators targeted the family after a hit ordered from jail in retaliation for an unauthorized killing by the baby’s uncle, Oslushla Smith. Investigators identified multiple participants. Devin Thomas, 18 at the time, pleaded guilty to murder and other charges and received life plus 20 years with parole eligibility. Kenneth Jackson, described as the gang leader who ordered the attack, and Christopher Florence were convicted of murder and received life without parole; Marco Watson was convicted on weapons charges and given 10 years.
