Andrea Evette Brown, 57, was killed in her Beecher Hills home in Atlanta on October 24, 2023, in the early morning hours. Shots were fired from outside the residence around 5 a.m.; a stray bullet penetrated the home and struck Ms. Brown in her room while she was holding her 3-month-old grandson. She was a mother of three and a grandmother; family and neighbors describe the loss as devastating.

Authorities have said Ms. Brown was not the intended target. The investigation remains ongoing and no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. If anyone was in the Beecher Hills area that morning or has information about shots fired near that address, those details could be important to investigators.
