A family gathering on the evening of June 22, 2024, near the pool at the Arium Peachtree Creek apartments on Peachtree Creek Circle in DeKalb County ended with 50-year-old Cedric Maxwell shot to death. Police say a verbal dispute over money between Maxwell and 31-year-old Dario Howell, an extended family member, escalated and Howell allegedly produced a handgun and shot Maxwell in the back. Responding to a person-shot call just after 6 p.m., officers found Maxwell deceased at the scene.

Howell was taken into custody at the scene without incident and transported to the DeKalb County Jail. He faces felony murder and aggravated assault charges and is being held without bond as the investigation continues. Few other facts about the gathering or the events leading up to the shooting have been released. Did anyone at the Arium Peachtree Creek event see what happened or know more about the dispute that led to this killing?
