Three Years Without Justice: The Ongoing Fight for Connor Mediate
In October 2021, our beloved Connor Mediate, a 24-year-old Kennesaw State University graduate, was tragically shot and killed during an attempted robbery in Alpharetta, Georgia. As we mark three years since his passing, our family continues to seek justice and advocate for meaningful reform.
The above news segment by 11Alive News highlights the devastating delays in the legal proceedings against the individuals charged in connection with Connor’s death. While two suspects face felony murder charges, no trial date has been set—three years later. The report shines a light on our family’s frustration and the emotional toll of waiting endlessly for justice in a system that seems to prioritize bureaucracy over closure.
In the video, Connor’s mother, Nancy Mediate, speaks candidly about the heartbreak of losing her son and the injustice of a legal process that has stalled for over 1,000 days. The piece reminds viewers that behind every court date and delay is a grieving family simply asking for resolution and accountability.
Our journey through this nightmare has been filled with unanswered questions, postponed hearings, and a deepening sense that the justice system is failing victims’ families. For three years, we’ve shown up in court, spoken with prosecutors, and waited for progress—only to be met with silence and stagnation.
Connor was a son, a brother, a loyal friend, and a young man with dreams cut short by senseless violence. His loss left a hole in our family that can never be filled. But we are not staying silent. We’ve launched this movement not only in Connor’s memory, but for all families stuck in the same cycle of delays and inaction.
