On the night of June 25, 2017, 23-year-old William Kendrick Randall was ambushed and fatally shot on Crisler Street in Canton, Georgia. Tony Samples was also killed in the same attack and a third person was wounded but survived. Police found Randall’s body in a grassy area after responding to reports of gunfire.

Investigators linked the ambush to an ongoing gang feud. The day before the shooting a street fight occurred and a video posted by one group was interpreted as a provocation by members of the Bloods, who planned retaliation. The attack involved more than 70 rounds fired from multiple weapons, striking nearby homes and churches.

A broader probe led to indictments of thirteen people tied to the violence. Byron Elrod, Brody Samples and Jeremy Zellous were identified as the primary assailants in the Crisler Street ambush and were later convicted of numerous charges, including felony murder and aggravated assault. Randall’s family spoke at sentencing about their loss.
