Ricaya Pace, 20, was killed in southwest Atlanta on the afternoon of April 23, 2019, after a dispute on Sells Avenue between two women escalated into fatal violence. Atlanta police were called about 1:15 p.m. and found Pace with multiple gunshot wounds; investigators also reported indications she may have been stabbed. Despite medical attention she did not survive, and the Fulton County Medical Examiner later confirmed her identity.

Three people were initially detained for questioning; two were released without charges while investigators focused on one primary suspect. Detectives arrested 27-year-old Tyra Ealey and charged her with felony murder; Ealey was booked into the Fulton County Jail. Authorities did not publicly release the specific details of the argument that led to Pace’s death.

If anyone has information about the events on Sells Avenue that afternoon or knew Ricaya, please share what you know with investigators.
