Selena Dukes was 23 when she was shot and killed on May 8, 2021, in the parking lot of an apartment complex in South Fulton, Georgia. She had gone with a friend to retrieve the friend’s infant from the friend’s ex-boyfriend, 33-year-old Diante Gore, and stepped in to try to de-escalate an argument between the former couple. According to reports, the confrontation moved into the parking lot and Gore allegedly produced a firearm and shot Dukes in the back as she and her friend fled; Dukes, a mother to a young daughter, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family and friends remembered Dukes as sweet, nice, and very bubbly, and a candlelight vigil was held in her hometown of Smyrna, Georgia. Police say Gore fled on foot and warrants were issued charging him with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime; at the time of the initial reports he had not been apprehended.
