On the evening of September 6, 2020, 46-year-old Danyel Sims was killed in an ambush attack at the Dunwoody Glen Apartments in an Atlanta suburb. She had been leaving the complex in an SUV with her 22-year-old daughter, Crystal Williams; her 18-year-old son, Malachi Williams; and another teenager when a man driving another vehicle allegedly blocked them, stepped out with a firearm, and opened fire. Danyel reportedly tried to shield her children and was fatally wounded; Crystal was pronounced dead at the scene. Malachi suffered non-life-threatening injuries and the younger teen was not physically hurt.

Police apprehended 23-year-old Justin Deion Turner in Atlanta the next day and charged him with two counts of murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Witness statements and Malachi’s account tied the attack to a recent breakup between Turner and Crystal Williams. Who in the community might have seen activity around the Dunwoody Glen Apartments that evening or heard from the victims before the shooting?
