Kevin Bass, a 61-year-old Black man, was found dead inside his Spring Valley Parkway home in late July 2025 after City of South Fulton officers conducted a welfare check. Neighbors reported an unusually large police response, with as many as 14 patrol cars at the scene.

Investigators arrested and charged Kevin’s son, Kristopher Bass, with murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Kristopher was booked into the Fulton County Jail. Neighbors said the family tended to keep to themselves and that the neighborhood is usually peaceful.

Local authorities have not released a motive and say the investigation remains active. Does anyone in the area have information about the Bass family or the days leading up to this incident?
