Delray Crittenden was a 16-year-old Black male from Lithonia who was shot and killed in the early hours of July 1, 2014, after a house party in DeKalb County. Court findings describe Delray and two other teenagers returning to the home of David Frank Moore to buy more marijuana; an argument erupted when Delray complained he had been shortchanged. Gunfire broke out at the car as the group arrived. Aaron Byfield was shot in the back and lost consciousness; Nyriek Williams was shot and ended up in a yard across the street.

A neighbor saw a man with a revolver standing over Delray, who was bleeding and leaning against the neighbor’s car. Delray was taken into surgery but did not survive. Investigators recovered a .38-caliber revolver near Moore’s driveway and a .40-caliber pistol in the victims’ car; ballistics linked bullets from Delray and Williams to the .38. David Frank Moore was indicted in October 2014 and, after a December 2015 trial, was convicted on felony murder, aggravated assault and related firearm counts; the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed those convictions in August 2019.

If anyone knew Delray or was at the party that night, can you share what you remember?
