On the night of Friday, September 13, 2024, 21-year-old Deshaune Hall of Marietta, Georgia, was found outside a building at the Rosemont Bentley Apartments on Bentley Road suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers arrived just before 10:15 p.m.; despite aid from law enforcement and medical responders, Hall died at the scene.

Witnesses at the apartment complex identified 21-year-old Tavion Taylor of Atlanta as the suspected shooter and gave police an address for him in Cobb County. Cobb County officers located Taylor nearby, a brief foot chase ended with his capture, and he was later questioned by Marietta detectives. Physical evidence taken from the victim’s and suspect’s residences, together with witness statements, led to an arrest warrant.

Taylor was booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center on charges that include felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime; he is being held without bond. The motive for the shooting has not been released.
