Samuel Moon, Aj’anaye Hill Wiki – Samuel Moon, Aj’anaye Hill Biography

A Sweet 16 party in Georgia ended in tragedy earlier this month when gunshots rang out as guests were leaving, killing two teenagers and wounding seven others, police say. More than 100 partygoers gathered at a house on Sitka Drive in Douglasville on Saturday, March 4 at 10:41 p.m. when gunshots erupted, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. Samuel Moon, 15, and AJ’anaye (AJ) Hill, 14, were killed, according to DCSO. Seven other teenagers, ranging in age from 14 to 19, were injured. At a news conference Wednesday, Douglas County Sheriff Tim Pounds said three suspects had been arrested in connection with the “mass shooting/homicide.”

He identified the suspects as 18-year-old Timothy Lamar Coleman Jr. and 17-year-old twins Chase Terrence McDowell and Chance Terrell McDowell. The suspects are each charged with two counts of mass murder, nine counts of aggravated assault and seven counts of aggravated assault. There are other charges pending, he said.

Calling the shooting “a gang hit,” he said: “The people who were injured and killed were not the intended targets. They were innocent bystanders.” He did not identify which gangs were involved, saying he did not want to give them any “airtime” or “disguise” them.

Simply because I told my community and the public that I was going to catch these guys who committed this terrible crime in my county,” he responded. “I worked together with my researchers doing exactly that. I was there during the knockdown part.” As police continue to investigate, the families of the teens who died are mourning their losses. In a GoFundMe set up to help defray the costs of the funeral, Hill’s mother, Chanell White, wrote that her daughter’s life was “tragically taken by senseless acts of gun violence.”

She said her daughter was at the party when an “uninvited guest became belligerent and started fighting. Shots were fired and Ajanaye was hit in the back of the head as she fled.” The mother wrote that AJ was “a beautiful and vibrant 14-year-old African-American woman” who was a freshman at Douglas County High School. AJ loved to dance, sing, create TikToks, and spend time with friends and family.

“She had aspirations of becoming a lawyer,” her mother wrote. Samuel Moon, the other teenager who died, “was a bystander fleeing from stray bullets that hit him in the back,” Maryse Moon wrote of her “little brother” in a GoFundMe that she and her uncle, Richard La Fleur, set up for Help defray funeral expenses.
