On the evening of September 3, 2023, a drive-by shooting on the 400 block of Whitehall Street in the Mechanicsville neighborhood of southwest Atlanta left 30-year-old Alexus Anderson critically wounded. The incident, near a gas station and a chicken wing restaurant, occurred at about 6:45 p.m.; emergency crews transported Anderson to a nearby hospital where she later died of her injuries.

Investigators identified an SUV described in the attack and located the vehicle the next day. Two suspects arrested on September 4 were a brother and sister from Atlanta: 20-year-old Joshua Crawford and 30-year-old Kelsey Anne-Taylor Crawford. Initial charges involved aggravated assault, aggravated battery and firearm possession; after Anderson’s death the charges were upgraded to murder. Authorities have not released a motive and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the events that evening, please share what is known.
