Just after midnight on April 13, 2023, 19-year-old Calvin McDowell was found in the driveway of a residence on Woodland Avenue in southeast Atlanta with a fatal gunshot wound. Investigators placed dozens of evidence markers from the driveway into the street, and the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

McDowell, an aspiring rapper known as K-5, had recently become a father to an eight-month-old son. Family and his girlfriend described him as outgoing, ambitious, humble, devoted to his music, and someone who checked on the people he cared about. The shooting and his death left his family and community reeling.

Nearly three weeks after the killing, Atlanta police and federal and state task force partners arrested 28-year-old Demetrius McDowell, identified as the victim’s half-brother, on charges including murder and armed robbery. In November a second suspect, 27-year-old Demonta Teravion McNabb, was arrested and charged with felony murder, armed robbery, and aggravated assault; authorities say the shooting happened during an attempted robbery, though what the suspects allegedly tried to steal has not been released.

If anyone knew Calvin, his movements that night, or has information about the attempted robbery, please come forward.
