Ja’Nylen Greggs dies in fatal Atlanta shooting
Fatal Atlanta shooting death of Ja’Nylen Greggs
A last-minute fundraising drive on a crowdfunding platform has gathered more than $6,000 to support the family of the 12-year-old boy, Ja’Nylen Greggs, who was senselessly killed by a bullet from an altercation more than a week ago in the southwest part of Atlanta. The tragic incident has thrown the family into mourning while also dealing with the added stress of financial challenges associated with the arrangements for his funeral.
Described as being at the heart of his mother’s life, Ja’Nylen’s passing has left his loved ones not only in emotional pain but also struggling with the practical difficulties of organizing his memorial services. As of Wednesday, a crowdfunding initiative set up in the family’s name has successfully raised over six thousand dollars to help with these expenses.
Plans for a memorial service are set for the upcoming Saturday, though the specifics, including the venue and time, have yet to be officially confirmed. Meanwhile, law enforcement authorities in Atlanta have secured one individual in custody in relation to the fatal shooting and are intensifying their search for two other people who might be connected to the incident. Investigators are appealing to the public for any information that could assist in closing this case.
This story builds upon earlier coverage where it was first reported that a 12-year-old boy in southwest Atlanta was killed during a shooting incident. Additionally, authorities have increased a reward for tips leading to the apprehension of those involved.
The information for this article was obtained from the crowdfunding platform and previous reports by FOX 5 Atlanta.
