On the evening of June 26, 2010, 18-year-old Katerius Richie Moody was fatally shot at a large block party at the Hidden Cove apartment complex in East Point, Georgia. Moody, an African American recent graduate of Mays High School who performed with the hip-hop group the Polo Boys and used the names Richie or Terry, had just finished a performance when a fight erupted in the crowd of about 1,500 people. At approximately 9:30 p.m. at least one person produced a firearm and began shooting; Moody was struck in the torso and died. Four other people were injured and investigators searched for at least two gunmen, though suspect descriptions were not immediately available and public updates about arrests or accountability are scarce.

Moody’s family described him as outgoing and devoted to his younger brother; he was expecting a child and planned to attend Fort Valley State University to pursue music. His family held a vigil and an anti-violence rally, and the mothers of his children later filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the apartment complex owners and managers alleging inadequate security. Does anyone have memories of that night or information that could help clarify what happened?
