DeAngelo Earley, 24, was shot and killed in Atlanta on August 13, 2019. The shooting prompted a police investigation and initial reports said authorities were searching for a man accused in the fatal incident, but those early reports offered few specifics about a suspect or an arrest.

A comment on a gun violence memorial page asserts that an individual named Carlos Heard was charged in connection with Earley’s death, but official news reports and law enforcement statements confirming an arrest or formal charges have not been found.
