Sha’Darrian Jacobs, 33, was killed in the early morning hours of August 28, 2023 while working a lunch break as a security guard at a parking garage on Spring Street in Midtown Atlanta. Around 2 a.m., a group attempting to break into vehicles was confronted and fled in a car; as they drove away they fired multiple shots. Jacobs, who was not involved in the confrontation and was eating at the time, was struck by a stray bullet in the neck and died at the scene.

Investigators later made arrests in the case. In November 2023, police arrested 18-year-old Marion’Taye Holloman at a gas station; he was found wearing a face mask and in possession of a Glock modified to fire automatically and was charged with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and other charges. A second arrest occurred in October 2024 when a 17-year-old was taken into custody on charges that include murder and aggravated assault; his name has not been released because of his age. Police said they are searching for two additional suspects.

The family remembers Jacobs as a hardworking man who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. If anyone has information about the shooting or the remaining suspects, please come forward.
