Myesa Shavontae Green, a 29-year-old Black/African American woman, was killed by gunfire in East Point on August 6, 2024. The shooting followed a dispute that, according to an arrest warrant, involved an altercation between Green and a man named Jerome Issac Coggins. The confrontation was reportedly broken up, after which Coggins is alleged to have retrieved a handgun from his residence and opened fire on Green and two other people. Green tried to flee in a vehicle but was struck; another man was wounded.

East Point police identified Jerome Issac Coggins as the primary suspect and arrested him on a murder charge in connection with Green’s death. Green’s parents are now caring for her three children, ages six, four, and one. Funeral services were held in late August 2024, with a public viewing on August 23 and a Celebration of Life on August 24 at the Willie A. Watkins Historic West End Chapel in Atlanta. A GoFundMe was set up to help with funeral costs and provide for the children’s future.
