In the early morning hours of March 13, 2021, 20-year-old Devon Holmes, an African American man, was fatally shot while asleep in his SUV in a Loganville, Georgia subdivision. Holmes and a 16-year-old friend, Demontries Rule, had been parked in front of Rule’s home on Foxberry Run when a black Chrysler 300 drove by and opened fire. Rule survived with a gunshot wound to his arm; Holmes did not.

Gwinnett County investigators identified a suspect from doorbell camera footage and other evidence gathered at the scene. Police say the shooting was retaliatory in nature; the person arrested reportedly claimed Holmes had robbed him. Authorities recovered an AR-15 and armor-piercing ammunition that matched the fatal bullets, and say the suspect had turned off phones and cameras and visited the neighborhood multiple times beforehand.

Anyone who knew Devon, Demontries Rule, or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
