Sixteen-year-old Maurice Weems was shot on July 10, 2024, at the Reserve at Hollywood Road apartments in northwest Atlanta and later died of multiple gunshot wounds at a local hospital. Paramedics transported him in critical condition, but his injuries were fatal. That same day he had called his paternal grandmother for a ride; she was at work and could not pick him up.

Maurice had a history of trauma tied to that complex: when he was nine he discovered the body of his maternal grandmother, who had been strangled there. The Atlanta Police Department released surveillance video showing three people identified as suspects and asked the community for help. Later in the investigation a juvenile was charged in connection with Maurice’s death, though the juvenile’s identity and the exact charges have not been widely publicized.

Can anyone with information about Maurice, the Reserve at Hollywood Road, or the events of July 10, 2024, please come forward to the Atlanta Police Department?
