On Sunday morning, October 6, 2019, 18-year-old Oluwafemi Oyerinde, known as Femi, was shot and killed in the parking lot of Stadium Village Apartments in Marietta, Georgia. Femi was a freshman at Kennesaw State University planning to study mechanical engineering and had ambitions of joining the military. He was with two friends, 18-year-olds Jarius Bonner and Khalil Bennett, who were also wounded as they tried to flee; Oyerinde suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the back.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of a neighbor dispute that began two days earlier over a noise complaint. The confrontation escalated on the morning of the killing when Bonner challenged the downstairs neighbor, 22-year-old Kashman Rael Thomas, to a one-on-one fistfight. Thomas allegedly produced a firearm and fired about ten shots at the three young men as they ran. Police executed a search warrant at Thomas’s apartment and found over an ounce of marijuana; an arrest warrant charging murder, multiple counts of aggravated assault, and aggravated battery followed.

Thomas surrendered on October 15, 2019, after roughly ten days on the run and was held without bond.

Did anyone who knew Femi or who lived near Stadium Village Apartments see or hear anything that morning?
