What happened to Korri Jackson?
What we know:
Investigators say Korri was killed on Main Street in northwest Atlanta as several people tried to steal his work van in April 2023.

Warrants say another man identified as Jalen Curtis was with the group when Korri was killed. The documents show Curtis was shot during the crime by one of his alleged partners and then dropped off at a nearby apartment complex where he died.
Burnett is also wanted for a 2021 deadly shooting at a hookah bar.
What they're saying:
"Memories are forever," said Aaron Jackson, Korri’s grandfather.

"We have always been a close-knit family, but it's been hard because of justice," he said. "I'm not mad or bitter, but I just want justice."
Aaron has been left heartbroken since the shooting.
"What they were doing was wrong. Why did they have to shoot my baby?" he said. "Korri was one-of-a-kind."
Aaron is hopeful the police will make their arrests.
"I really thought that they would be apprehended because they got so much information on them," he said.
