On September 19, 2024, 23-year-old Jamar Donte Whoadie Atkinson was fatally shot outside his apartment complex on Deerwood Drive in San Antonio, Texas. Two masked individuals approached him at about 7 p.m. and opened fire, striking him in the torso. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. Witnesses reported the assailants fled in a Chrysler 300. No arrests have been announced and the suspects remain unidentified as the San Antonio Police Department continues its investigation.

Atkinson, known as Whoadie, attended Sam Houston High School and worked as a cook alongside his mother. He is survived by his daughter Brianna Atkinson, sons Messiah Allen and Jamar Atkinson Jr., his parents Angel Nicole Atkinson, Markus Mitchell (Dupree), and Carl Ross Jr., and his brother Trevon Atkinson. A memorial page has been set up where family and friends have shared tributes.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or who was driving the Chrysler 300 that night?
