An act of violence on a Sunday evening in November 2014 ended the life of 18-year-old Nathaniel Lowe Jr. in southwest Atlanta. Lowe was inside his Windsor Street apartment with two friends, 21-year-old Rondelrick Dukes and 19-year-old Leonard Guffie, when an assailant opened fire. The three fled; Lowe died a few feet outside the apartment complex. Dukes and Guffie reached a nearby store for help and were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in stable condition.

Investigators reported a possible gang-related motive: Lowe was reportedly scheduled to testify against the Goodfellas gang in an aggravated assault case, and authorities believed the shooting was an attempt to silence him. The investigation identified Dangelo Tucker as a suspect, citing evidence that included text messages sent by Tucker after the shooting in which he allegedly admitted to shooting three people.

Dangelo Tucker was arrested, charged, tried, and a jury found him guilty on all counts, including malice murder in Lowe’s death; he received life in prison for the murder and additional sentences on other counts. The conviction was later appealed and the Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the convictions in part but remanded the case for resentencing on one aggravated assault count due to a sentencing error.

If anyone knew Nathaniel, Dukes, Guffie, or has information about that night on Windsor Street, please share what is known.
