Jet Horne was arrested in May following a carjacking investigation that led detectives to link him to several earlier shootings dating back to December 2024. New charges were added last week.
The violence began last December on Pembrook Farm Way near Snellville, where police say Horne shot 20-year-old Talal Ansah as many as eight times as he returned home from work.
Ansah suffered brain damage and is still learning to speak again while undergoing rehabilitation.
'Right now he's just going through rehab and trying to basically relearn everything,' said Memuna Ansah, the victim's sister.

The two had been teammates at South Gwinnett High School and played AAU basketball together, according to Ansah's family.
'This guy was somebody that my brother was friends with,' Ansah told Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson. 'He's been over to our house multiple times.'
Police say the attacks escalated three months later with drive-by shootings on Ivy Fork Drive and Hidden Ivy Lane near Loganville in March that left one other person injured and multiple homes damaged.
Horne's arrest came after an armed carjacking incident on Preserve Park Drive on May 16, which investigators used to connect him to the earlier shootings.

Court documents show Horne faces 16 felony charges including multiple counts of aggravated assault, hijacking a motor vehicle, and weapons charges.
Meanwhile, Talal Ansah still faces skull surgery ahead and months of additional rehabilitation. His family is preparing their home for his return, while not knowing when he will be able to care for himself again.
The motive for the shootings remains unknown.
'It's very disappointing, just because, you know, it's not like those people did anything to him,' Memuna Ansah said.

‘Worst' Amazon driver angers shoppers — after shockingly careless home delivery is caught on camera
What a tosser. A North Carolina family was shocked when footage from their home security system captured what's being dubbed one of the worst Amazon delivery performances in recent memory. The now-viral doorbell camera video, filmed in Cabarrus County, shows the driver delivering packages with an alarming lack of care. 3 A now-viral doorbell camera video captured what's being dubbed one of the worst Amazon delivery performances in recent memory. Queen City News Instead of walking up to the porch and placing the items neatly by the door, the unidentified driver casually drops multiple boxes from a distance, letting them crash onto the steps and scatter across the entryway. One of the packages appears unstable, prompting the driver to roughly shove it back up the steps instead of placing it with care. He then lingers briefly at the porch, scanning a smaller package in his hand before walking away —seemingly unfazed by the mess he just made. The commotion startled the family, who were home at the time and heard a loud bang outside. When they stepped out to investigate, they discovered their packages strewn across the porch, some left precariously perched on the edge of the stairs. 3 Instead of walking up to the porch and placing the items by the door, the unidentified driver casually drops multiple boxes from a distance, letting them crash onto the steps and scatter across the entryway. Queen City News Disturbed by the incident, the family — who have chosen to remain anonymous — decided to release the footage to raise awareness about what they consider unacceptable delivery behavior. The video has since sparked outrage online, with many viewers calling it one of the worst displays of delivery etiquette they've ever seen. Yet, this isn't the worst-behaved Amazon delivery driver the world has seen. A mischievous employee was axed earlier this year after she was caught on home surveillance video relieving herself on two front porches while dropping off packages in Los Angeles. The gross stunt took place in the city's Woodland Hills area, with the unnamed driver caught literally with her pants down, according to KTLA-TV News. 'We're deeply disturbed by the unacceptable behavior of this delivery driver and apologize to the customers involved,' Amazon officials said in a statement to the outlet. 'We immediately identified the driver and they are no longer delivering on behalf of Amazon.' While that Amazon driver left an unwanted package, others have been caught taking them. 3 One of the packages appears unstable, prompting the driver to roughly shove it back up the steps instead of placing it with care. Queen City News A man captured the moment an Amazon delivery driver appeared to steal the package he'd just delivered. Matthew Perry, 29, ordered a Bluetooth device for his car and a workout bench from Amazon, which cost $15 in total. In the video, the delivery driver puts the package down and walks around the corner. But 30 seconds later, he returns to retrieve the items before running down the garden path. Perry was at work while his package was delivered and said he was shocked that someone would jeopardize their job for a $15 package.
