Demetrius Ralpheal Dow, 40, was shot and killed outside a building at the District at Vinings apartment complex on Paces Ferry Road in Cobb County in the pre-dawn hours of August 28, 2022. Police found Dow with multiple gunshot wounds just before 4 a.m.; first responders could not save him and he died at the scene. Investigators say the shooting grew out of an attempted robbery in which the victim’s Rolex watch was the alleged target.

By December 2022 authorities had identified two suspects. Ambakisye Mizell, 29, was arrested and charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault and attempted armed robbery. A second man, 40-year-old Gregory Tyrone Graham of Atlanta, was later indicted along with Mizell; a Cobb County grand jury returned indictments that include malice murder, three counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, and weapon-related counts. Warrants allege Mizell fired the shots that killed Dow. Both men were held without bond pending further proceedings.

If anyone has information about Dow, the shooting, or the people involved, please share tips with investigators.
