Twenty-year-old Quincy La'Savion Atkins was killed on the evening of Saturday, April 18, 2020, in Columbus, Georgia. A former student of William H. Spencer High School and an employee at the Kia Auto Manufacturing Plant, Atkins was apparently shot while driving a Dodge Charger. Authorities say he tried to flee and lost control of the vehicle, which crashed into a fence and a nearby house; the fence was heavily damaged while the house sustained only minor damage.

Emergency responders transported Atkins to a local hospital, where he died minutes after arrival from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Muscogee County Coroner. Columbus police classified the death as the city’s 14th homicide of the year and investigated a shooting location about a block from the crash site. At the time of the incident no suspects had been identified and no arrests were reported.

Anyone with information about what happened that night or who may have been involved is asked to come forward.
