CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — This week will mark the one-year anniversary of the unsolved murder of a metro Atlanta school bus driver.

Camesha Johnson, 36, died on July 6, 2023. The Clayton County Police Department said someone shot and killed her as she sat in her car outside a BP gas station at State Route 85 and Thomas Rd. in Riverdale.

Her mother, Virginia Hunter, said her daughter had just dropped her children off at summer school and was starting to get excited about her job as a bus driver.

“She felt like she had found her passion, what she wanted to do,” Hunter said.

Hunter spoke to Courtney Francisco from Channel 2 Sunday, while his family gathered for a balloon release to put his daughter’s case back in the spotlight.

“A life was taken in vain,” Hunter said. “It’s not something she, I or anyone else could have imagined in our lifetime.”

Johnson’s cousin, Shannon Roberson, said she and her family believe the killer knew Johnson.

“Whoever did this knows they took someone special,” Roberson said.

Flowers are still placed outside the gas station to mark the spot where the murder took place.

“I need whoever did this to be arrested because I suffer every day. I have to drag myself out of bed just to get through the day because I miss her so much,” Hunter said.

“We deserve this closure knowing that whoever did this is not always walking around free, but just living their life, while we are here to pick up the pieces,” Roberson said.
