Darin Thurman Jr. was 21 when he was found dead in the early hours of June 10, 2017, slumped over in the driver’s seat of a 2016 Nissan Sentra in the Austin Oaks apartments parking lot on Glenwood Road in Decatur, Georgia. The vehicle had been riddled with bullets; Thurman suffered gunshot wounds to his chest and left arm. An anonymous 911 call reporting gunshots brought police to the scene.

According to Thurman’s 19-year-old brother, they had driven to the DeKalb County apartment complex to meet some women and were waiting in the car when an unknown assailant approached and opened fire; the brother escaped and called for help. A witness said a man knocked on the car window, spoke to Thurman, then began shooting. Witnesses also reported seeing the shooter remove items from the vehicle.

Investigators identified and arrested two teenagers from Decatur. On July 3, 2017, 19-year-old Iran King was arrested at his residence; warrants allege he knocked on the car window and shot Thurman, then took a handgun, wallet, cell phone, and cash. On July 13, 2017, 19-year-old Darnell Thompson was arrested at a Wild Springs Court residence as a possible accomplice. Both were charged with felony murder and armed robbery. Anyone who knew Darin or saw activity in the Austin Oaks parking lot that night is asked to share what they know.
