In the early morning hours of April 4, 2022, 35-year-old Desmond Ramone Key was walking outside the Dagny Midtown apartment complex on Juniper Street in Midtown Atlanta when a dark gray four-door sedan pulled up beside him. At about 3 a.m., at least two people exited the vehicle with firearms, robbed Key, then shot him. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene from a gunshot wound.
The Atlanta Police Department treated the incident as a targeted robbery, released surveillance footage of the sedan, and named persons of interest. A reward of up to $40,000 was offered for information leading to arrests and indictments. Key’s wife, Felicia Key, remembered him as a father, husband, and business owner; the couple had celebrated their six-month wedding anniversary and were planning to expand their family and property management business.
On June 22, 2022, warrants were issued for 19-year-old Keon Hudson; he was arrested on June 29 in Norcross and booked into the Fulton County Jail on charges of murder, armed robbery, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony. Police said the investigation remained active because at least two suspects were believed to have been involved.
Did anyone in Midtown Atlanta that night see the dark gray sedan or those who got out of it?
