Nineteen-year-old Aden Stone was killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest on the afternoon of December 9, 2023, at the Waters Edge Apartments on Roberts Drive in Sandy Springs. Bystanders tried to render aid but Stone died at the scene, and authorities ruled the death a homicide.

Witnesses reported seeing a man and two women flee the complex in a white Chevrolet Equinox. An officer later stopped a vehicle matching that description on the entrance ramp to Georgia State Route 400 from Northridge Road. Inside were 28-year-old Devontay Trimell Coleman, 21-year-old Mackieda Malu Tugba, and a third woman; officers observed what appeared to be blood on all three occupants and recovered a firearm from the vehicle.

Coleman was identified as the primary suspect and charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, plus drug charges including possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and sale or distribution of marijuana. Tugba was also arrested and is facing a murder charge; the third woman was released without charges. Reports say Coleman and Tugba picked up the third woman from the airport earlier that day, Coleman detoured to the apartment complex, and an altercation between Coleman and Stone preceded the shooting.

If anyone was at Waters Edge Apartments that afternoon or saw the white Chevrolet Equinox, please share what was seen or any other information that could help clarify what happened.
