Kinaya Hightower was 21 when she was killed during a shootout at a car meet-up in Conley, Georgia, the early morning of October 26. The gathering was at an Exxon on Moreland Avenue; a dispute between two groups escalated into gunfire and Kinaya, described as an innocent bystander, was fatally wounded. Suspects fled before police arrived.

DeKalb County police launched an investigation and released surveillance images of several persons of interest, including one showing someone wearing a Chucky mask while holding a gun. Investigators asked anyone who was at the car meet, had video footage, or could identify the people in the photos to come forward.

In early January 2026, authorities arrested 22-year-old Gregory Dennis of Norcross; he was taken into custody at a Gwinnett County hospital and charged with murder and aggravated assault. He was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail and was awaiting transfer to DeKalb County to stand trial. Is anyone who attended that car meet or who has footage willing to share what they saw?
