Daquan Gillett, 18, was at Kenwood Park in Fayetteville, Georgia, on May 7, 2021, celebrating with his twin brother and friends when a confrontation with another group escalated into violence. The dispute began as a verbal exchange and became physical. During the altercations a 20-year-old man from Jonesboro dropped a loaded firearm, retrieved it, and during a second clash dropped it again; Gillett picked up the weapon and began to retreat. An associate then handed the other man a second firearm. The man pursued Gillett and fired multiple shots, striking him once in the back of the leg and fatally in the back of the head. Gillett was taken to Piedmont Fayette Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival; his twin brother was beside him on the sidewalk.

Surveillance cameras at the park recorded the incident. The suspect later surrendered to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office and was charged with felony murder and aggravated assault; a jury found him guilty and he received a life sentence. Does anyone have information about Gillett’s time at Kenwood Park or knew him or his circle of friends?
