On the evening of June 6, 2009, Andre Reynolds, 34, was shot and killed in an apartment complex parking lot in Atlanta. Known as Deek to friends and family, he was a father of four — QuinnDarious, Armani, NyKia, and Kimara — and is survived by his mother Gloria Butts, father Donald Reynolds, and brother Brandon Reynolds. The meeting in the parking lot was arranged as a sale of two pounds of marijuana for $2,400; a middle man, Danny Marshall, and a driver, Cornelius Hubert, were present.

According to witness testimony in the police and trial record, buyer Ezwekwesiri Ngumezi got into Andre’s truck carrying a backpack. A struggle over a handgun ensued and two shots were fired, killing Andre. Witnesses saw Ngumezi run from the truck with a gun and a large plastic bag of marijuana, then leave with Hubert. Shell casings were recovered inside the truck’s cabin; Ngumezi later testified he shot Andre and claimed self-defense.

If anyone knew Andre, the neighborhood where he grew up, or has information about the events that night, please share what can help the record.
