On March 28, 2025, Atlanta police found 27-year-old Keiontay Davis with a gunshot wound at a residence on Lakewood Avenue in the Lakewood Heights neighborhood shortly before midnight. He was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries; the Fulton County Medical Examiner later confirmed his identity. The Homicide Unit was investigating, and officials did not immediately release details about a suspect or what led to the shooting.

Davis had been on probation at the time of his death. In February 2023 a traffic stop for running a red light on Piedmont Road NE led to his arrest after officers discovered outstanding warrants charging him with felony murder and aggravated assault in a September 27, 2022, shooting near the Children’s Museum of Atlanta that left one victim, 26-year-old Jaquavious Wilson, dead. He also faced charges including possession of marijuana, no insurance, failure to obey a traffic control device, and not having his license on his person. In November (year not specified) he entered a negotiated plea on a Violation of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act charge and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, receiving 15 years on probation.

Anyone who was in Lakewood Heights on March 28 or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
