Julian Conley faces multiple charges, including murder, in the shooting death of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner during protests following police brutality incidents, with a co-defendant sentenced to 40 years.

  • Jury selection is scheduled to start Monday in the case against Julian Conley, who faces a murder charge for the shooting death of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner on July 4, 2020, near a Wendy’s in Atlanta.
  • The shooting occurred amid protests after Rayshard Brooks' police killing weeks earlier, and both Conley and Jerrion McKinney, linked to the Bloods gang, pleaded not guilty.
  • Secoriea was riding in an SUV with her mother near protest barricades when a bullet struck the vehicle, killing her and shocking the city and nation.
  • Her mother Charmaine Turner said in court, "Secoriea was my heart," and the family launched a $50,000 scholarship in July 2024 to honor her love of learning.
