Laderrick “Huncho” Jackson, a 24-year-old Black man, moved through Atlanta’s nightlife with the kind of energy people noticed. He was known as a club promoter, a young father with a one-year-old daughter, and someone whose family said was trying to build a future for himself. In the early hours of March 22, 2022, that future was cut short in downtown Atlanta, where he was shot near the Monaco Hookah Lounge on Trinity Avenue.
Public reporting described the scene as one that turned from a night out into sudden chaos, leaving his family stunned and grieving as they tried to understand how a routine night in the city ended with Jackson dead.
What emerged afterward was the picture of a young man whose life was bigger than the final headlines. His family spoke about him not as a statistic, but as “Huncho,” a son, a father, and a familiar face in Atlanta’s club scene. The loss hit with particular force because of how abruptly it happened. One moment he was working and moving through the downtown nightlife world he knew well; the next, relatives were left speaking through heartbreak, insisting that no one had the right to take his life. The coverage around his death carried that contrast throughout: the bright, social atmosphere of downtown venues on one side, and the permanent silence left behind for his daughter and loved ones on the other.
As for the case itself, later reporting indicated that investigators did identify a suspect. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Treves Kyree Miller was booked into the Fulton County Jail and accused in Jackson’s killing. A Fulton County booking record tied to Miller listed charges including felony murder, voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Based on the public sources I found, that is the clearest arrest development connected to Jackson’s death. I did not find reliable public reporting, in the sources reviewed, confirming a trial result or conviction in the case, so the publicly visible record appears to show an arrest and charges, but not a clearly documented final courtroom outcome.
