SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – One Savannah family is looking for answers from the Chatham County District Attorney’s Office about the death of 2-year-old Amire Levert.
“I just wish I could save him,” said Erika Johnson, the toddler’s grandmother.
Records show Amire died of blunt force trauma to the head, which led to seizures, a possible stroke and brain damage.
The man accused of his murder is Jatarri Tanksley, who was arrested back in August of 2021.
But according to Johnson, that’s the end of the information the family has.

“We know nothing. We don’t know how he was hurt. We don’t know if he suffered,” she told News 3.
Johnson said the DA’s office won’t talk to her or her daughter, not even informing them of when a hearing may happen.
“I call. They won’t let me speak to the DA. I get hung up on,” Johnson said. “The secretary is really rude. She’s nasty and I resent it because he is the victim. I’m his grandmother. I deserve to know what’s going on.”
