On the late afternoon of Monday, May 17, 2021, 16-year-old Ashawn Adams of Athens, Georgia, was killed in an exchange of gunfire on the 300 block of Marlborough Downs Road. Police say officers responded about 5:30 p.m. to a shooting and found a crowd around two people with gunshot wounds; Adams was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two men from outside Athens, brothers Casey Parten, 21, and Tyler Parten, 24, had traveled to the Stonehenge subdivision to buy a dirt bike Adams had advertised on Facebook Marketplace. Casey Parten was also shot and taken to a hospital; he died of his wounds two days later. Tyler Parten was present and not injured. A relative of the Partens described the sale as a setup and said trouble began almost immediately after the brothers arrived.

Does anyone who was in the Stonehenge subdivision that evening or who has information about the arranged sale have details to share?
