The mother of 13-year-old Jamiren Crosby, who was tragically shot and killed in DeKalb County in 2022, has now been discovered deceased in Atlanta, according to the boy’s father and police reports shared with 11Alive on Friday.
Atlanta Police issued a missing person’s report for 35-year-old Chanell Crosby on Thursday night. Her family reported last seeing her between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. on July 14. Investigations suggested she might have been in the Macon area.
However, during an interview with 11Alive’s Cody Alcorn on Friday, Don Wilson, Chanell’s father and Jamiren’s grandfather, disclosed that police had informed him of finding Chanell’s body.
MARTA Police reported that an officer was alerted around 2 p.m. about a car emitting a foul odor near the West End MARTA station. Upon inspection, the officer found a body in the vehicle’s back seat. Don Wilson mentioned the car was located approximately nine miles from Chanell’s home.
