Demetrius Terrell, a 39-year-old Black man, was killed after an attempted armed robbery in southwest Atlanta on September 25, 2011. Armed individuals approached his vehicle on Susan Lane; Terrell sped away but was shot, the gunshot wound likely fatal. Despite being wounded he continued driving and about a third of a mile later his SUV collided head-on with a MARTA bus at Campbellton and Barge roads.

Terrell was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died. His passenger, an Atlanta Police Department 911 dispatcher, was found dead at the crash scene from injuries sustained in the accident. A 13-year-old boy, the dispatcher’s son, was in the backseat and witnessed the events. The Atlanta Police Department investigated and a reward was offered for information, but no arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly reported.

Does anyone have information about the attempted robbery or those responsible for these deaths?
