On the morning of January 15, 2024, gunfire erupted at the intersection of Hank Aaron Drive and Ormond Street in Atlanta’s Summerhill neighborhood. When it ended, 46-year-old DaJuan Jackson, a Black man, was found with a fatal gunshot wound; another man was injured and taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. The Fulton County Medical Examiner later confirmed Jackson’s identity.

Jackson’s brother, Demetrius Lester, described him as generous and caring, saying he would help others who were hungry or needed money. Jackson is survived by a stepson, a sister, and his brother. The Atlanta Police Department has characterized the shooting as arising from a dispute that escalated but has released no further details about what sparked the argument or how events unfolded.

No suspects or arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing. If anyone saw or heard anything around Hank Aaron Drive and Ormond Street that morning, or knew DaJuan, please share information with investigators.
