Two teenagers from Banneker High School were killed in a single shooting on the night of March 17, 2026, in the Cooks Landing subdivision of South Fulton, a suburb of Atlanta. Sixteen-year-old JMauri Smarr and 14-year-old Jeremiah Carter were found with gunshot wounds inside a vehicle; both were taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. A third person had been in the vehicle but was not considered a suspect.

Investigators said the shooting may have arisen from a prior dispute. A $10,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment. On March 22, 2026, South Fulton police arrested a 14-year-old male, identified in reports as Keyshawn Hughes, at a church on Fairburn Road. He was taken into custody without incident and will be charged as an adult with two counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and possession of a firearm by a person under the age of 18.

Does anyone have information about JMauri Smarr, Jeremiah Carter, or the events in Cooks Landing that night?
