Kaidan ’Baby K’ Barlow-Gardener was 14 when he was fatally shot on July 3, 2021, in the 600 block of McAfee Street in Atlanta. A large brawl involving as many as 50 teenagers — many arriving on scooters — escalated into gunfire. Kaidan was found unresponsive and later died at a local hospital; two other teens, 14 and 15, were also wounded.

The Atlanta Police Department opened a homicide investigation and made several arrests. On July 23, 2021, a 16-year-old male was charged with murder and sent to the Metro Youth Detention Center. A 17-year-old, Keyontavious Tobias Hood, was charged with possession of a pistol by a person under 18 after being detained at the scene. On November 26, 2021, 19-year-old Kentavious Dayquan Jeffries was charged with murder, criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; he was already in Fulton County Jail on unrelated charges when served with the new warrants. Police also released video of another person of interest and solicited the public’s help.
