Nejah Cox was 21 when she was fatally shot on May 18, 2024, while riding as a passenger in a vehicle on Center Street in northwest Atlanta. Her toddler was secured in the back seat and was not physically harmed, nor was the vehicle’s driver. Three men on foot approached and opened fire on the car; nearby store surveillance captured the shooting.

Atlanta police identified suspects and carried out arrests. In late May, 23-year-old Jamal Baker was booked into Fulton County Jail on charges including murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and cruelty to children in the second degree. In mid-June, 19-year-old Cartez Harvey was also arrested and faced the same charges. The motive for the attack has not been released.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, saw the car or the suspects near Center Street that morning, or has information that could help, please share what is known with investigators.
