Redding, then allegedly a 17-year-old member of the violent street gang 30 Deep, became the face of Atlanta crime

Trial starts for killing that galvanized Atlanta | ajc.com: "Jonathan Redding's murder trial starts Monday and it represents more than potential justice for a bartender killed in a Grant Park tavern two years ago. The trial symbolizes Atlanta's war on street gangs. And it touches on the palpable anxiety of a city witness to a recent wave of violent crime.
Redding, then allegedly a 17-year-old member of the violent street gang 30 Deep, became the face of Atlanta crime when he was charged with shooting John Henderson during a robbery of the now-defunct Standard Food & Spirits on Memorial Drive on Jan. 7, 2009. Henderson, 27 when he died, came to represent victims in a city that suffered multiple high-profile crimes in the months following his death."
