Conwell's family spoke with 11Alive just days after the shooting. Her grandmother, Felicia Thomas, told 11Alive's Tracey Amick-Peer the family is desperate to have her killer caught. 

"I know God is gonna see that justice is done,” Thomas said.

According to authorities, Conwell's 5-year-old son, Khani, was the first to call someone to alert something was wrong.

Khani told 11Alive "she loved me, and my brother, and sister, and I miss her so much."

There is currently a fundraiser for Conwell’s children.

Police said they believe Conwell knew the shooter and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on the case is urged to call detectives at 404-559-6300.
