Homeless woman found shot on church steps
Atlanta police are looking for the person who shot and killed an elderly woman found on the front steps of a West End church Monday.

Police would confirm few details, other than the church was on the 1300 block of Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard. The woman is 66-year-old Jeanette Smith, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office. She is homeless.

Police said they are waiting on an autopsy to report on how the woman died.

Another homeless woman found dead on the steps of a church marked the first homicide in East Point in February 2007. Police said the 47-year-old woman died of head injuries.

A parishioner found Renessa Parrott just outside the entrance to the First Baptist Church in the 2800 block of East Point Street right before Sunday morning service. Police said she did not have a place to live and was staying with friends and sleeping wherever she could.

3. Hate really equals fear.. the fear that it could easily be themselves sitting
homeless and unwanted somewhere in the unforgiving America.
