CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. — More than three years after a 14-year-old boy was shot and killed during a house party, a man has been charged with his murder.

In October 2021, Landon Andrews was at a house party in Woodstock when shots rang out. The Kell High School freshman was found in the back of an SUV after being shot in the torso. He later died at the hospital.

Detectives say in recent weeks, they received new information pointing to Jaden Simmons, a 22-year-old from Mableton, as a suspect. Simmons was arrested on Sunday and charged with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, cruelty to children and gang charges.

He is currently being held in the Cherokee Adult Detention Center without bond.
