Antwan Penn, 35, of Albany, Georgia, was killed when a burst of gunfire struck the car he was riding in with his wife, Courtney Duncan‑Penn, on South Cleveland Street on the night of March 18, 2023. Reports describe the couple as newlyweds and say the shooting was a gang-related ambush. Penn was shot multiple times and died; his wife suffered a head wound and survived.

In the days after the shooting police sought leads and named a person of interest. By May 2023 authorities had announced multiple arrests: Nekhi Parks, 18; Montrez Nix, 17; Brian Massey Jr., 15; and Nicholas Collier, 15, were first reported charged with murder. Brothers Zaydren Thomas, 20, and Donnellius Thomas, 22, were later identified as suspects and said to have active murder warrants before being taken into custody, bringing six people into the case.

Reporting frames the attack as gang-related rather than a private dispute. Courtney Duncan‑Penn issued a public statement about losing her husband. What can readers who were in Albany that night add to understanding what happened?
