Omarian R. Banks was 19 when he was shot and killed after being dropped off at the wrong breezeway of The Retreat apartments on Fairburn Road in Atlanta. Having recently moved there and unfamiliar with the complex, Banks knocked on what he thought was his apartment while on FaceTime with his girlfriend, who was actually waiting inside their real unit. When she didn’t see him, she became worried; a short time later a gunshot was heard.

After a brief exchange, Bynes opened fire as Banks tried to leave; Banks was struck in the neck and died at the scene. Bynes was arrested and charged with murder. Reports say he told investigators he acted in self-defense, claiming he believed Banks was attempting a break-in, while witnesses and other evidence described Banks as having made an honest mistake.

If anyone was in or near The Retreat that night or has information about what happened, please share what is known.
