On November 21, 2013, 16-year-old Alyssa Zari Jackson was standing outside a house on Cedar Avenue in Macon, Georgia, with several others shortly before 8:20 p.m. A passing car fired shots; a single bullet struck Alyssa in the lower back. She ran inside but collapsed and was taken to the Medical Center of Central Georgia, where she died about 20 minutes later.

A 13-year-old boy in a nearby vehicle was grazed by a bullet and survived. Investigators treated the shooting as gang-related and said Alyssa was not believed to be the intended target. Authorities arrested 16-year-old Dontavious Man Man Mintz and charged him with murder, aggravated assault, and participation in criminal street gang activity after witnesses identified him as one of two people who fired that evening. Mintz later pleaded guilty to murder in connection with Alyssa’s death.

If anyone knew Alyssa, was at the Cedar Avenue location that night, or has information about the people involved, please share what is known.
