Frederick Demor Asberry, 25, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of November 15, 2020, after a dispute that began inside the Up Lounge in Midtown Atlanta spilled into the street. The shooting occurred about 4 a.m. at 150 Pine Street NE and also wounded two other men: 33-year-old security guard Byron Heron, who was left in critical condition, and a 30-year-old man named Andrew Smith, whose injuries were less severe.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation responded because an off-duty Atlanta police officer working a security job at the nightclub intervened and fired a weapon during the chaotic exchange. Several firearms were recovered and it was not immediately clear who shot whom. In the days after the killing, Asberry’s family announced charges against two security guards: one charged with felony murder and the other with aggravated assault.

Asberry was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran from Troup County who served from 2014 to 2018 and had been pursuing music and barber training after his honorable discharge. Does anyone have information about that night or the events leading up to the confrontation outside Up Lounge?
