Kevin Carranza Acosta, 21, was fatally shot in a triple shooting outside the Acapulco Restaurant and Bar on Buford Highway in DeKalb County in the early hours of a Sunday in August 2018. The shooting occurred at about 2 a.m. when a vehicle pulled up alongside the taxicab Acosta was in and opened fire. Two others were wounded — a 42-year-old taxi driver shot in the arm and a 45-year-old Chamblee woman who was a bystander; both were reported expected to recover.

Brookhaven investigators said an argument that began inside the restaurant spilled into the parking lot and that two men, later identified as 21-year-old Humberto Lorenzo Barcenas and 19-year-old Enrique Segura Diaz, retrieved a gun from a vehicle before the shooting. Warrants were issued charging them with felony murder, multiple counts of aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Police described the suspects last seen in a red 1998 Acura Integra with a gray front bumper and mismatched rims and warned they were considered armed and dangerous, with unconfirmed reports they may have fled to Mexico.

Does anyone have information about that night, the vehicle, or the two men seen at the restaurant?
