Atlanta police arrest boyfriend in 1999 murder of Bridgett Lockhart
Bridgett Lockhart's children were just 11 and 5 years old when she was shot and killed in their Atlanta home in July 1999. After 27 years, they may finally get answers as Atlanta police arrested Janarra Sherrer, Lockhart's boyfriend at the time, and charged him with her murder. The arrest came after Lockhart's daughter urged authorities for information about her mother's killing. Investigators negotiated Sherrer's self-surrender at the Fulton County Jail, marking a significant development in this cold case. The police stated that Sherrer turned himself in on a Monday following the negotiations. This case has remained unresolved for decades, with the family seeking justice for Lockhart's death. The investigation faced challenges, but recent efforts by the family to obtain information have reignited interest in the case. The police and court records indicate that the arrest is a major milestone in their long quest for justice.
