ATLANTA — A heartbroken mother is calling on the community to help police track down her son’s alleged killers.
On August 28, Sha’Darrian Jacobs, 33, was working an overnight security job at a parking garage off Spring Street in midtown Atlanta when he was struck in the neck by a stray bullet. Investigators say someone was trying to stop a group of burglars from breaking into vehicles parked in an adjacent parking garage when gunshots rang out.
“It took a toll on me,” said Velma Jacobs, who told Channel 2′s Michael Seiden that her son was on his lunch break when he was fatally wounded.

“He didn’t have anything to do with it. He was just caught in the crossfire,” she said
In the days after the deadly shooting, investigators released photos of multiple suspects.
No one had been arrested, but a spokesman from APD told Channel 2 Action News that detectives are continuing to follow up on leads.
Jacobs’ mother described her son as a “homebody” who only left the house to go to work.
“He had worked there for about a year and enjoyed his job,” she added.
