Rashawn Mackey was fatally shot at about 2:30 a.m. on April 14, 2026, inside a BP gas station on Metropolitan Parkway in Atlanta. The 17-year-old was working as a food delivery driver and was inside the store with other people, reportedly picking up orders, when gunfire broke out. Officers found Mackey with a single gunshot wound to the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Mackey did not know the shooter. Police reports describe another man in the store who became upset over something unrelated to Mackey, and that agitation escalated into gunfire. Witnesses saw a man in a black hoodie running from the scene after two shots. A K-9 unit tracked a scent to a nearby apartment complex, and surveillance footage from the gas station is under review, but no arrests have been made and no suspect has been publicly identified.

Anyone who was in or near the BP on Metropolitan Parkway that morning or who recognizes the description of the person fleeing is asked to share what they know with Atlanta police.
