On June 23, 2024, Heather Neely, a 35-year-old Black woman, and her father, 58-year-old Stanley Neely, were shot and killed during a meeting with a prospective buyer at the Freedom Park Apartments on Delano Road in South Fulton. The meeting, arranged to sell a car, reportedly escalated into a heated argument over payment and the buyer opened fire. An eyewitness said the shooter shot Stanley first, then stood over Heather and shot her in the head; the shooter then fled in the car he was buying and reportedly drove over Heather’s arm while escaping. Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified a suspect and sought him across state lines with assistance from U.S. Marshals after he was believed to have fled. Family members have attended court hearings and asked that bond be denied. What anyone who was at Freedom Park that night or who knows more about the arranged sale can add to the timeline?
