On the afternoon of Sunday, June 28th, 2020, a young mother in her early twenties was gunned down in a Kroger parking lot in Atlanta, Georgia. The victim, identified as 24-year-old Jazmine Moore, had been shopping with her three-year-old daughter when an altercation with a total stranger resulted in her being shot in the back.
According to witnesses, Moore and the unidentified suspect had gotten into a heated argument outside of the store before the suspect pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots at her. Moore was struck in the back and rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her daughter was unharmed in the incident.
Moore’s family and friends are in shock and disbelief over what happened. Her mother, Ebony Moore, told reporters that Jazmine was a “beautiful, loving and caring person” who was “always looking out for her family and friends.” She also said that Jazmine was a devoted mother who “loved her daughter more than anything.”
The Atlanta Police Department is currently investigating the shooting and is asking anyone with information to come forward.

This incident is yet another heartbreaking example of the violence that is all too common in our society. Jazmine Moore’s death is a reminder of how quickly and unexpectedly tragedy can strike. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time.
