On the evening of October 14, 2017, 21-year-old Akeem Turner was found with fatal gunshot wounds in a breezeway of the Colonial Grand at River Plantation apartment complex in Duluth, Georgia. Police arrived around 9:20 p.m.; Turner was unconscious and not breathing and was later pronounced dead. Investigators say the shooting followed what they believe was a setup to rob him over $20 and some marijuana.

Police reports describe Turner arranging to meet 17-year-old Alexander Powell in the complex parking lot. A witness saw a super tall white male get into a vehicle with Turner. An altercation inside the car allegedly left Turner without his keys; Powell then fled. A second individual, an unidentified 16-year-old described as a black male with a stocky build, ran up to the car armed with a handgun, demanded money, and fired the three shots that killed Turner, according to authorities. The 16-year-old was charged with felony murder, armed robbery, and firearm possession; Powell faced armed robbery and assault charges and reportedly cooperated with police, leading them to the alleged shooter.

Turner’s mother, Tonii Turner, said her son knew the suspects from playing basketball at a local gym and called the killing senseless because he only had $20 on him. A judge later set bond for Powell at $500,000 with house arrest conditions. Does anyone have additional information about the encounter or the people who were at the apartment complex that evening?
