It was a heartbreaking tragedy for the Crosby family when Chanell Crosby, the mother of a 13-year-old boy who was shot and killed in Atlanta's DeKalb County two years ago, was found dead on July 19. As reported by 11Alive, the police are still trying to piece together what happened to her.
It's been a difficult two years for the Crosby family, as they mourned the loss of Chanell's son, Jamiren Crosby, and her brother, Darrio "Polo" Giles, who were both found dead. And now, they have to face another devastating loss.
The news of Chanell's disappearance first surfaced on Thursday night when the Atlanta Police issued a missing person's report for the 35-year-old mother. Her family last saw her on July 14 between 3 P.M. and 9 P.M. and they suspected she might be in the Macon Georgia area.
The following day, Chanell's father and Jamiren's grandfather, Don Wilson, received a call from the Atlanta police informing him that Chanell's body had been found. In an emotional interview with 11Alive's Cody Alcorn, Don shared the heartbreaking news.
It was a group of concerned citizens who alerted the police to an abandoned car with a foul smell in the West End MARTA station area at around 2 P.M. Upon inspection, the police discovered Chanell's body in the back seat of the car. It was a mere nine miles away from her home.
The Atlanta Police Department has taken over the investigation into Chanell's death, and they have confirmed that her body was found in the car. They are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist with the investigation through Crime Stoppers Atlanta Tip Line, their website, or by texting them.
Chanell's death comes almost two years after her son, Jamiren, was found behind a townhome in Lithonia on September 19, 2022. His death was deemed a homicide, and to this day, no one has been arrested for his murder. In April of the same year, Chanell's brother, Darrio "Polo" Giles, was also found shot and killed inside an apartment complex on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW.
According to reports, Polo's death was connected to a botched robbery. He had just won $4,000 on a progressive slot machine, and when his body was discovered the next morning, the money was gone. The Atlanta Police's initial investigation supported this theory.
The Crosby family has been through unimaginable pain and loss, and now they have to face yet another tragedy. As they grieve the loss of Chanell, they are also seeking justice for her and her son's death. It's a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers that exist in our world, and the importance of coming together to support and protect one another.
