Jeromy Ellis was fatally shot early Thursday in the Chatham neighborhood. Reader Katrina Holcomb posted this about him:
Jeromy was a good hard working man ive been with for 13yrs he wasnt perfect but I can guarantee he wasnt bothering anybody he was on his way home from work listening to his headphones. If anybody knows anything please come forward he didnt deserve this and someone needs to be brought to justice for this senseless [killing].
