Atlanta, Georgia – The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office has announced a significant development in the case of Bre’Asia Powell, a 16-year-old girl who was tragically killed almost a year ago during an unauthorized graduation party for Mays High School students. Bre’Asia’s mother, Necole Williams, revealed that there has been progress in the investigation and shared her ongoing struggle in coping with the loss of her daughter.
Bre’Asia Powell was a talented athlete and student at Mays High School, excelling in dance, cheerleading, basketball, and volleyball. Her promising future was cut short when she was shot and killed during the graduation party. Williams expressed how challenging it has been to navigate life without her daughter and found comfort in recent updates from the Fulton County DA’s office.
Despite the pain of her loss, Williams remains hopeful as she learns that the police are actively pursuing new leads in the case. She emphasized the importance of accountability, warning those responsible for the shooting that there will be consequences for their actions. As the one-year anniversary of Bre’Asia’s passing approaches, Williams plans to honor her daughter with a justice march along Benjamin E. Mays Drive on May 28.
In a recent development, Atlanta Police announced the arrest of a fourth suspect, Jakell Mumford, in connection with the case. Mumford is facing charges related to suspected gang activity and has allegedly admitted to sending threatening messages to a witness of Bre’Asia Powell’s murder on social media. Efforts to gather more information about Mumford’s involvement are ongoing.
Williams continues to advocate for justice for her daughter and remains committed to seeking answers and closure in the tragic loss of Bre’Asia Powell. The community is urged to support the upcoming justice march and stand in solidarity with the Powell family as they seek resolution in this heartbreaking case.
