Sametria Edwards-McCord was 29 when she was killed by gunfire on May 24, 2024, in Decatur, Georgia. A recent nursing graduate who had begun working at Grady Memorial Hospital four days earlier, she had been attending a family repast on Chestnut Hill Circle that night when shots were fired from several houses away. Sametria was standing in the crowd and was struck by a bullet.

Her sister Travonya Edwards was with her shortly before the shooting and ran to her aid. Sametria was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where medical staff were unable to save her. Her mother Latanya Walker described arriving at the hospital to find her daughter being brought in and said the family’s life has been shattered.

Few details about the shooter were released by that date and the family appealed for information that could lead to an arrest. If anyone attended the repast or was in the neighborhood that night, did you see anything that could help investigators?
