South Cobb High School Student Shot To Death

MARIETTA, GA -- Police are still looking for a suspect in the fatal shooting of a South Cobb High School student over the weekend. Nimar Kelly, 16, was shot several times outside his Crome Apartment complex in Austell around 1 pm on Saturday, according to police. A 15-year-old male is believed to have shot Kelly, who was visiting someone at the complex before the shooting happened.

Kelly was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

The suspect's name has not been released.

Principal Clint Terza sent a letter to South Cobb parents about the shooting:

“Our thoughts and support are with the student's loved ones and our school family as we struggle to make sense of what’s happened,” he said in his letter. “Your child will hurt for the loss of their friend and may have questions for you, questions that they’ve never considered before. You may not feel like you have all the answers, but what you have will be enough if it is partnered with loving reassurance and support.”
