Quentyn Red Burgess, known as Red, was 18 when he was shot and killed on June 19, 2023, at the Villages at Carver apartments on Moury Avenue in Atlanta. The gathering that night was a memorial balloon release for two teenagers, Nyriek Olds and Jamarquez McCrary, who had been killed at the same location a year earlier. Burgess was struck by multiple bullets and died at the scene; a 19-year-old man, Kobe McCrary, was wounded in the elbow and survived.

The Atlanta Police Department released surveillance footage of two male persons of interest seen near the complex around the time of the shooting and is asking the public for help identifying them. Investigators have said they are exploring whether the attack was retaliatory and connected to the prior year’s homicides, but no motive has been confirmed and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone witnessed the June 19 memorial or has information about the persons shown on the surveillance footage, please share what you know with investigators.
