On the morning of August 4, 2016, 24-year-old Shanna Smith was shot and killed while driving home in southwestern Atlanta after an overnight shift at an Amazon warehouse in Union City. Smith, a Black woman, had just given a coworker a ride and was driving a dark-colored BMW when five men opened fire on her vehicle. Her car left the road and became wedged in vegetation; she was found slumped at the wheel with at least two gunshot wounds to the head.

Investigators recovered extensive evidence at the scene, including at least 43 shell casings from multiple firearms, among them two AR-15 rifles.The attack was described as a case of mistaken identity linked to a rival gang retaliation; Smith had no known ties to gangs or criminal activity. Authorities identified suspects quickly after one person dropped a cellphone at the scene, leading to arrests. Two defendants, Matthew Larkins, 37, and Travon Mack, 27, were convicted of murder, participation in a criminal street gang, aggravated assault and other charges in October 2019 and given life plus 25 years; a co-defendant, Richard Ash, was tried with them but the jury could not reach a verdict.

Did anyone in the Atlanta area know Shanna or recall seeing her BMW that morning?
