On the evening of December 29, 2020, gunfire at the Rolling Ridge apartment complex in northwest Athens, Georgia, left 27-year-old Athens resident Quamiek Malik Aziz mortally wounded. Officers already nearby found Aziz with a gunshot injury; he was taken to a local hospital and later died. Another man, Deundre Moses, was wounded and survived.

Investigators from the Athens-Clarke County Police Department, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force developed a suspect and secured arrest warrants on January 22, 2021, for 30-year-old Christopher Tyrone Rollins of Jefferson, Georgia, who was already in the Clarke County jail on unrelated charges. Investigators said the shooting followed an alleged dispute over Rollins’ use of a counterfeit $100 bill. A Clarke County grand jury indicted Rollins on malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

After a four-day Superior Court trial, a jury returned verdicts on April 27, 2023, acquitting Christopher Tyrone Rollins of malice and felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; the judge also directed a verdict of not guilty on the charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. If anyone knew Quamiek Malik Aziz or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
