On the afternoon of January 2, 2024, 18-year-old Montravious Pitts was struck in a drive-by shooting in Atlanta’s Mechanicsville neighborhood near Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and Windsor Street. Pitts and two other people were taken to a hospital; Pitts later died of his injuries. Investigators described the attack as targeted, with an unspecified number of suspects firing from a white sedan.

Police later identified two men, 22-year-old Desmond Lindsey and 21-year-old Terrance Cole, as suspects wanted for questioning. Arrest warrants alleged both knowingly and intentionally shot Pitts and the other victims. By early May both men were in custody; Cole was arrested April 4 with assistance from Fulton County deputies and Lindsey was booked May 1. Each faces charges of murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and is being held without bond. No motive has been released and the investigation remains ongoing.
