Mario David Lopez Gomez, 32, was shot and killed in a parking lot at The Reserve Carrollton Apartments in Carrollton, Georgia, on November 10, 2024. Carrollton police responded to reports of shots fired at about 10:30 p.m.; Gomez, a resident of Snellville and described as Hispanic, was found with a gunshot wound, transported to Tanner Medical Center, and pronounced dead.

Investigators say the shooting happened during what they believe was a drug transaction that turned violent. Two men from Marietta — 20-year-old Markeese Jarvis Clark and 22-year-old Maurice Williams — were identified as suspects. A white car was seen speeding away; police pursued it and it stopped near the hospital, where the driver fled on foot. One suspect was later located at Grady Memorial Hospital with gunshot wounds from the same altercation. Both men were taken into custody and are facing murder charges and are being held at the Carroll County jail.

Officials reported that neither the victim nor the suspects were students at the University of West Georgia, and none lived at the apartment complex. The investigation is ongoing. Does anyone have information about that night or the people involved?
