Dereon Durell Hambrick, 30, was killed outside an apartment complex on Belvadier Square in Decatur, Georgia on the evening of April 18, 2025. Doorbell camera footage reportedly captured a violent confrontation that escalated after 21-year-old Mel Harris arrived with a group in three vehicles and allegedly forced his way into the residence to take two children. Family members say an argument moved outside, Hambrick was shot execution-style in the back of the head, then run over by a vehicle; investigators confirmed Hambrick died at the scene.

Harris, who is the father of two of Hambrick’s sister’s children, was arrested and charged with malice murder and was denied bond. Hambrick leaves a 9-year-old son and a 14-year-old daughter. The family says others who were present should also be held accountable; three days after the killing the two children involved were dropped off at a local hospital.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw the arrivals that evening or who can identify other people involved?
