Rico Jabar King, a 26-year-old Black man from Decatur, Georgia, was killed on the night of June 4, 2019, in the Belvedere Park area. DeKalb County police were called about 10:15 p.m. to an apartment complex on Belvedere Lane, where officers found King dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds after reports of shots fired. Early accounts say witnesses reported an argument just before the shooting, and investigators treated the case as the result of a sudden, violent confrontation.

Authorities moved quickly from the fatal shooting investigation to a manhunt. Public reports say a warrant issued June 5 alleged that 37-year-old Joe Eakmond Morris of Decatur shot King multiple times with a handgun; Morris was arrested about eight days later at a Decatur hotel and booked on a felony murder charge.

Did anyone in the Belvedere Park area that night see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened before the shooting?
