Seventeen-year-old Kevelle Byrd was shot and killed outside his apartment in Atlanta on the night of September 9, 2025. Officers found the Black male near the entrance to his unit at the Villages at Carver on Moury Avenue SW at about 11:30 p.m.; he had multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency personnel took him to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Fulton County Medical Examiner later confirmed his identity.

Investigators searched the apartment complex for witnesses and surveillance footage and placed numerous evidence markers around the community playground near the scene. No motive has been announced and authorities did not name any suspects. By the end of September a $5,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment, and the case remained open and active.

If anyone who knew Kevelle, was at the Villages at Carver that night, or has footage or information that could help the investigation, please share what is known with Atlanta police.
