A late-evening dispute in the parking lot of Piedmont-Peachtree Crossing Plaza in Buckhead, Atlanta, ended in homicide when 45-year-old Derrick Dukes was shot multiple times on June 1, 2017. Witnesses heard a fight before gunfire; emergency crews found Dukes near a Mercedes and he later died at a hospital. Police collected evidence at the scene and released cellphone video to the public. Investigators said Dukes likely knew the people who assaulted him and identified a man in a white tank top as the primary aggressor in the physical altercation that preceded the shooting.

By August 2017 authorities had arrested Kristy Forrester and Robert Scott and charged both with Dukes’ murder; both were held in the Fulton County jail.

If anyone witnessed the June 1, 2017 incident or has information about the people involved, please share what is known.
