In the spring of 2019 a conversation outside a Taco Bell on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta turned deadly. On the evening of April 7, 37-year-old Denorris Clark and 43-year-old Steve Sanon spoke with occupants of a black SUV in the restaurant parking lot when gunfire erupted from the vehicle. Clark was pronounced dead at the scene; Sanon was taken to a hospital and later died. Detectives recovered a firearm at the scene, though it was not immediately clear if it was the murder weapon.

Investigators released surveillance images of three vehicles of interest seen near the scene: a dark-colored Dodge Durango, a gray Chevrolet Trailblazer, and a red or maroon Hyundai Tucson, and asked the public for help identifying occupants. Family and friends held a memorial service for Clark at Fort Street Memorial United Methodist Church. Ballistic testing later linked rifles recovered from a vehicle associated with Mikel Gunn, known as ProblemChild5, to the Ponce de Leon Avenue shooting, identifying him as a person of investigative interest in these murders.

If anyone has information about the vehicles, occupants, or the shooting that night, please come forward.
