On December 30, 2022, 44-year-old Rashone Gardner was found on the porch of a home on Kipling Street SE in southeast Atlanta, having been shot multiple times. Police described a large exchange of gunfire involving multiple people and weapons; at least 40 shell casings were recovered and a car with numerous bullet holes was towed from the scene. Another person injured in the shooting was hospitalized and provided information to investigators.

Gardner was remembered by neighbors and family as a well-known and friendly figure who left behind two daughters. Within a day, two 26-year-old men, Duwayne Johnson and Rene Ndiaye, were arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault; Johnson also faced charges of robbery by entering an automobile and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Does anyone in the area have information about the events that night or knew Gardner and can help fill in what happened?
