Anjuan Maffett, 17, was shot and killed in broad daylight around noon on Saturday, November 29, 2025, in the parking lot of the West Ridge Shopping Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in southwest Atlanta. Family members say he had gone to the shopping center to buy Timberland shoes and was standing outside the Bando Restaurant when an argument erupted and escalated to gunfire. Police pronounced him dead shortly after arriving and opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators released images of a man they want to question as a person of interest and offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment; as of early December 2025 no arrest or formal charges had been announced. The community held a balloon release in Anjuan’s honor, his mother was hospitalized from shock, and a funeral was scheduled for mid-December at Now Faith Apostolic Ministries with arrangements by Willie A. Watkins Funeral Home.

Does anyone who was at West Ridge Shopping Center on November 29 remember the confrontation or recognize the person in the released images?
