Ina Chambers, a 55-year-old African American grandmother, was killed on the evening of January 9, 2026, outside the Gus Thornhill Funeral Home in East Point, Georgia. She had been dropping off her daughter for a family viewing when a drive-by shooting sent multiple rounds into the area. Chambers was struck after pushing her two young grandchildren, ages 5 and 1, to safety and was pronounced dead at the scene; another woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Police describe the attack as a cowardly act of violence and say the motive is unclear. Investigators believe multiple witnesses were present and have offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest. No arrests have been announced and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
