On the late afternoon of September 23, 2021, 19-year-old Ketorian Cooper was found in the breezeway of an apartment building at the Bethel Midtown Village complex on Hickman Drive in Athens, Georgia, suffering from a single gunshot wound. Emergency personnel transported him to a local hospital, where he died of his injury.

Athens-Clarke County police arrested two people in connection with the shooting: 21-year-old David Richard and 15-year-old Quatravis Hull. Investigators said the shooting was not random and linked it to ongoing issues between Cooper and Richard, including a physical altercation a few months earlier. Both suspects were believed to have been armed, and authorities worked to determine who fired the fatal shot.

Hull was charged as an adult. He later pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and received a 15-year sentence, with the first five years in confinement under the Georgia Youthful Offender Act. Richard pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 20 years in prison followed by five years of probation. Did anyone who knew Ketorian or who lived at Bethel Midtown Village see or hear anything that afternoon?
