Shalik Burkhead, 20, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of April 5, 2022, outside the DosBros Fresh Mexican Grill on Barrett Parkway in Marietta, Georgia. What was initially described by those involved as an accidental discharge of a rifle used as a prop for a music video was later challenged by investigators.

Security camera footage described by prosecutors reportedly shows Burkhead and others dancing with firearms, then two men — Terrence Jamal Speer and Antoine Bernard Malone, both 20 at the time — shoving a rifle into Burkhead’s head on two separate occasions. The footage allegedly shows Speer taking a gun from Burkhead and fleeing with two others. Warrants say Malone had a handgun in each hand during the incident.

Speer and Malone were arrested and charged with murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony; a Cobb County grand jury later indicted them on malice murder, two counts of felony murder and related charges. A third person, 19-year-old Yahzier Saeed Hill, was charged with making false statements and tampering with evidence. Does anyone have information about Burkhead’s activities that night or recall seeing the area around Barrett Parkway on April 5, 2022?
