Sabrina Kay Carson, 56, was found dead in her car on the morning of May 24, 2024, in Stonecrest, Georgia. DeKalb County police were called about 7:30 a.m. to a vehicle that had struck a light pole and a power box near a Walmart on Mall Parkway. Officers discovered Carson in the driver’s seat with multiple gunshot wounds; the scene was first reported as a crash but the investigation shifted to homicide.

A witness reported seeing a man running from the vehicle after the crash. Family members said Carson lived with a younger man she was helping with housing and employment; her nephew Brian Johnson and other relatives suspected that boyfriend after he was seen leaving with her that morning. On June 2, 2024, DeKalb County police arrested Kjiar Prather and charged him with malice murder. Carson’s family described her as a kind, generous mother and grandmother whose sudden, violent death left them devastated.

Did anyone who knew Sabrina, her movements that morning, or her relationship with the man she was helping contact investigators?
