On the afternoon of February 17, 2023, 20-year-old Julian ’JackBoi Ju’ Kolb, a Black/African American man, was shot multiple times and found lying in the street on the 1300 block of Allegheny Street SW in Atlanta’s West End. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office. A 10-month-old daughter was later found unharmed in the backseat of Kolb’s nearby car. A 911 caller said they heard gunshots after seeing a fight in a car across the street and reported seeing a baby in the vehicle near the victim.

Investigators have said the shooting may have been drug-related. Warrants were issued in March 2023 for 18-year-old Jyquez Harvey on charges including felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; Harvey was placed on the Atlanta Police Department’s most-wanted list and a reward was offered. In May 2025 authorities charged 42-year-old Blain Stafford with murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; Stafford was already in Fulton County Jail on unrelated charges at that time.

Does anyone who knew Julian or who was in the West End that afternoon have information that could help investigators?
