Renesha Manuel was 27 when a night out that began as a birthday celebration ended in her death. On the evening of Saturday, July 28, 2018, she was at a restaurant in DeKalb County, Georgia, where an argument with her 46-year-old boyfriend led him to leave and later head toward her apartment at the Point Apartments on East Ponce de Leon Avenue in the Stone Mountain area.

A friend gave Renesha a ride to the complex and found the boyfriend’s vehicle wrecked at the entrance. They discovered Renesha’s apartment door ajar; the boyfriend was inside armed with a gun and the apartment appeared ransacked. The friend ran to her car to call 911 and, while outside, heard five gunshots. After returning, she found Renesha had suffered fatal injuries and she was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The boyfriend, described by police as living in the same complex though not with Renesha, vanished after the shooting. No name, arrest, or further update has been reported.

Did anyone in the Stone Mountain area witness the couple that night or the crashed vehicle at the complex entrance?
