Terence Terock Favors Denson, 36, was shot and killed on September 8, 2022, outside a neighborhood sports bar at Pryor Street SW and Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard SW in Mechanicsville, Atlanta. Bystanders tried to help but he died before emergency services arrived.

Denson had been working to steer youth away from violence after his 15-year-old son, Terence Denson Jr., was killed weeks earlier. Previously incarcerated, he had since organized book bag giveaways, food distributions, community clean-ups and healing circles, and was forming a non-profit called Better Youth Living Corporation. He partnered with groups including Chris 180 and Cure Violence; his cousin has said she intends to continue his work.

The Atlanta Police Department is investigating. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. If anyone knew Denson or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
