Kevin Spruill, a 30-year-old Black man from Atlanta, was shot and killed during what began as a child custody exchange on the evening of Monday, November 9, 2020. The incident occurred at a Chevron station on Forest Parkway in Clayton County after a dispute over car keys between the woman who brought her children and her ex-boyfriend, Tony Stevenson, turned physical. Witnesses said Stevenson bit the woman on her arm.

Spruill went to intervene and, as he approached the vehicle, a man with Stevenson identified as Reginald Hardy allegedly opened fire. Spruill was struck multiple times and later found on the ground by responding Clayton County officers. After the shooting, Stevenson allegedly forced the woman and her four children into his vehicle and left the scene; the vehicle was later abandoned and the family was located at a nearby hotel unharmed.

Arrest warrants were issued for Stevenson and Hardy. Reginald Hardy later surrendered and faced charges including felony murder, aggravated assault, cruelty to children, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony. Tony Stevenson was sought on charges of battery-family violence and cruelty to children; both men were described by police as armed and dangerous. Does anyone have information about the events at the Chevron that evening or knew Kevin Spruill?
