Humes’ family friend created a GoFundMe page after his death. The page says Humes was out with friends and decided to walk home when he was attacked and killed.
“Our hearts are broken. This past weekend Kevin was out with his friends in Atlanta for dinner and drinks. While on his walk home he was innocently targeted and killed in a senseless and random act of gun violence. Under normal circumstances Kevin would have called for an Uber but instead chose to walk given the current Covid pandemic. He was attacked less than a mile from his home,” the page says.
