Brandon Xavier Davis, 21, of Decatur, was shot and killed near the tennis courts in Brookhaven’s Blackburn Park shortly before 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 9, 2024. Authorities say the shooting occurred during what was arranged as a business transaction that investigators now treat as a violent robbery.

Police used camera footage and license plate readers to track a black Audi tied to the incident and identified three people they say were involved. Within days three arrests were announced: Azra Sheppard of Atlanta, Diamoni Henry of Covington, and Davion Meux of Snellville. All three have been charged with felony murder and armed robbery and are being held without bond; Sheppard is described as the suspected getaway driver while investigators continue to sort out each person’s role.

The community remains stunned by the loss. If anyone was in Blackburn Park near the tennis courts that evening or has information about the black Audi or the suspects, please come forward.
