Thirteen-year-old DeSiyah Reed, known to family as Turtle, was struck in the head by a stray bullet during a July 21, 2025, outbreak of gunfire between rival street gangs at an apartment complex on Padgett Drive in Austell, Georgia. He survived for three days after the shooting but died despite medical efforts; his family authorized organ donation.

Authorities arrested three juveniles in connection with the shooting. A grand jury later indicted two 14-year-olds, Jonathan Camphor and Josiyah Cole, who were to be tried as adults. Camphor was identified as a member of Young Stupid Reckless and Cole as a member of Sex Money Murder; prosecutors described the shooting as tied to an ongoing conflict between those groups. The indictments include voluntary manslaughter, multiple counts of aggravated assault, and violations of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.

DeSiyah loved football and was on the verge of starting eighth grade when his life was taken; the community continues to reckon with the loss. If anyone knew DeSiyah or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
