Christian Broder, an Atlanta native, was slain as he left a wedding reception. Broder, who worked as a Washington, D.C. area restaurant manager, is survived by his wife and an infant daughter.

Broder was a graduate of Woodward Academy and the College of Charleston, according to his LinkedIn profile. He was the general manager of Millie’s Spring Valley, a California Baja-style restaurant, and several others.

Myrick has now been charged with felony murder, according to the Atlanta Police Department. He was originally charged with three counts of aggravated assault, one count of aggravated battery and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office objected when Myrick asked to be released from his sentence before he turned 17 and would be sent from juvenile detention to adult prison. The DA’s office said Myrick had 32 misconduct violations while in juvenile detention, and that his behavior was still unpredictable.

But Downs insisted that the probation program, called Visions Unlimited, was the best option. She told Myrick, “I am expecting you to become a changed person” through the program, according to the transcript.

Downs declined to comment. Myrick’s public defender could not be reached.

The DA’s office said Sunday that there were soon signs that Myrick was not on the right path. Just 20 days after the hearing, the DA’s office asked that Myrick’s probation be revoked based on Instagram posts showing him with guns, known gang members and a posted video showing him holding a baggie of pills for sale.

Downs revoked Myrick’s probation, and he was to remain in jail until February. The DA’s office said he was released on Feb. 21 and was supposed to go back into the Visions Unlimited program but apparently did not report there. The DA’s office said it found more posts on Instagram showing that Myrick was violating his probation and reported that to the judge, but that no action was taken.

Downs required Myrick in 2017 to avoid gun and drugs and anyone with a gun and she said during the hearing in August 2017 that she understood the prosecutor’s request for more punishment.

“I think he has been in prison now for two and a half years and I don’t think it helped him much,” the judge said, according to the transcript. “I haven’t noticed a whole lot a change, and I am hoping the change will occur with this opportunity.”

Gwen Sands, the director of Visions Unlimited, told the judge that Myrick would be “very appropriate for our services.” For a minimum of two years, she said, Myrick would be placed in a”very, very structured” plan that would include education, career readiness, and life skills to get away from criminal thinking. The program includes gang intervention and family support, Sands told the judge.

According to the transcript, Sands told the judge that her program is “just like going to school, really like going to a military school with lots of love and respect but the focus is very, very structured, the services are very structured.”

Sands could not be reached for comment.

Atlanta Police said that Broder was leaving the wedding reception July 8 along with three others and was waiting for an Uber when a car pulled up. Police say Myrick got out with a gun and demanded their possessions. When Broder approached to negotiate, police said, Myrick shot him in the stomach.
