A gathering of friends at the Forest Villa Apartments in Conyers, Georgia, on the evening of January 13, 2026, ended when 22-year-old Kaleb King was fatally shot. Witnesses said the group was having a chilled night when 21-year-old Amir Johnson allegedly burst through the door and fired about 10 shots, specifically targeting King. King was struck multiple times and died at the scene.

Johnson fled through a back door and was the subject of a week-long manhunt. Numerous witnesses inside the home cooperated and identified Johnson as the shooter. He was found and arrested on January 19, 2026, with assistance from the DeKalb County Police Department and booked into the Rockdale County Jail; authorities charged him with felony murder and aggravated assault. Investigators have not released a motive.

Friends and neighbors described Kaleb King as quiet, kind, and respectable. If anyone was at the gathering or has information about what led up to the shooting, please share what is known.
