On June 13, 2025, a double shooting at an apartment on Columbia Drive in an unincorporated part of Decatur, Georgia, left 6-year-old Dior Scott and 29-year-old Tomekia Pullins dead. DeKalb County Police responded around 2:48 p.m. to the Forest of Columbia Apartments and found both victims with gunshot wounds in the living room; first responders pronounced them dead at the scene. Dior had been born December 19, 2018, and had just completed kindergarten; she is remembered in reports for her bright smile and enthusiasm.

Witnesses at the apartment identified the shooter as 47-year-old William Almond, described as the estranged husband of Pullins and Dior’s uncle. Investigators say Almond tried to force his way into the home, broke a window when denied entry, and fired multiple shots, striking both victims. Almond fled but was arrested the same day by the DeKalb County SWAT Team and held without bond.

A DeKalb County Grand Jury later returned an indictment charging Almond with more than 30 counts, including two counts of malice murder, five counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, cruelty to children, home invasion, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The case is being handled by the District Attorney’s Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Unit and is awaiting scheduling of a trial after arraignment.

If anyone knew Dior, Tomekia, or has information about that afternoon at the Forest of Columbia Apartments, please come forward.
