Reward up to $15K to find others responsible for killing 12-year-old in Atlanta

One suspect has been arrested in a drive-by shooting that killed a 12-year-old in southwest Atlanta, according to police. But investigators believe there were others involved, and they need the public’s help finding them.

On Wednesday, Crime Stoppers of Greater Atlanta said the reward has increased to $15,000 for information leading to arrests and convictions of those responsible for the death of Ja’Nylen Amir Greggs. Ja’Nylen died after being shot in the torso on June 12 outside the Retreat at Greenbriar apartments in the 3200 block of Cushman Circle, where he lived, according to police.

“We are asking anyone who knows something — anything — to come forward,” Sgt. Demetrius Campbell, director of Crime Stoppers of Greater Atlanta, said in an emailed statement. “Your tip could be the missing piece that gives this family justice.”
