A mid‑afternoon visit to an apartment complex on Abner Terrace NW in Atlanta turned deadly on April 3, 2023. Around 2:30 p.m., gunfire rang out and 27‑year‑old Elijah Jackson was found with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries. Three other people were wounded in the same incident; two of those transported themselves to the hospital and were reported in stable condition.

Atlanta Police investigators have said little publicly about what led to the shooting and no motive has been released. The community and Elijah Jackson’s family continue to seek answers about that spring afternoon.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward to local law enforcement.
