About this episode

The episode discusses the tragic shootings of three Atlanta mothers within nine days, highlighting concerns about gun violence and public safety.

Within just nine days in April 2026, three Atlanta‑area mothers were shot and killed while sitting inside their vehicles. Each incident happened in a different location across the metro area and under different circumstances, yet the similarities have raised serious concerns about gun violence and public safety. This report examines the lives and cases of Qualeisha Barnes, Bianca Huntley, and Za’Mari Spearman. All three women were engaged in everyday activities when violence interrupted their lives. One was driving home from work during rush hour. One was sitting inside her car late at night. One was parked during a daytime break. Police agencies have stated the cases are not connected and are being investigated separately. Still, the timing and circumstances have left families and communities searching for answers. 📺 Watch the full story: YouTube.com/leahgordone📲 Follow for updates: @truecrimewithleah @leahgordone #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimewithleah #SayTheirNames
