Keyontae De’Lamont Bennett, a 24-year-old male, was killed in a double shooting in southwest Atlanta on the night of March 30, 2026. The shooting happened near 3540 North Camp Creek Parkway SW, the address associated with The Preserve at Camp Creek apartment complex, not far from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Atlanta police said Zone 4 officers were called to the area at about 8:46 p.m.
after a report that someone had been shot.
When officers arrived, they found two adult male victims suffering from multiple apparent gunshot wounds. Bennett was the victim who did not survive. Medical personnel responded, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man was also shot multiple times, but he was described by police as alert, conscious, and breathing before being taken by ambulance to a hospital. Authorities did not publicly identify the surviving victim in the available reports.
The scene unfolded at an apartment complex just outside the Perimeter, turning an ordinary Monday night into a homicide investigation. Police did not release a motive, describe what led up to the shooting, or say whether the victims were targeted or caught in the same burst of gunfire. Atlanta Police homicide investigators responded to determine the circumstances surrounding the violence, and early department statements emphasized that the information was preliminary and could change as the investigation developed.
Bennett’s death was later memorialized online as a loss to gun violence in Atlanta. A fundraiser organized by Lataya Bennett, identified as his mother, described him as her son, a grandson, a little brother, a big brother, an uncle, and a true friend. She wrote that he was killed in a double shooting in Atlanta and said the family was seeking help with funeral and homegoing expenses. Funeral information identified him as Keyontae De’Lamont Bennett and announced a Celebration of Life service at Donald Trimble Mortuary in Decatur.
As of the available online reports, no arrests have been publicly announced in connection with Bennett’s killing. Police did not name a suspect or suspects, did not release a suspect description, and did not report charges in the case. The public details available so far indicate the case remained under investigation by Atlanta Police homicide investigators after the shooting.
