Police looking to question man in relation to death of 13-year-old

Police say 13-year-old Jamiren Crosby was shot and killed. It happened near the 2600 block of Parkway Trail in Lithonia. Investigators have since released a photo of a person they want to question.

DeKalb County police are asking the public for help identifying a male they think could be connected to the murder of 13-year-old Jamiren Crosby.

Officers said they only want to find him for questioning.

Crosby was found in the woods at a park behind a subdivision in Lithonia on Sept. 19.

This past week has been agonizing for Chanell Crosby.

"Grief, disbelief, I feel like in a dream or nightmare that come true," Crosby said. "My son really didn’t do nothing to nobody. He was only 13 years old."

Crosby believes the person in the picture was one of the last people to see her son. She says she knows who he is. And she has this message. 

You can’t hide forever, no matter if it’s five years from now, 10 years from now. You’re wanted for questioning. You have to just turn yourself in," Crosby said.

His death was ruled a homicide, and detectives have been investigating ever since.

Jamiren’s mom says there will be a vigil for him on Thursday night.
