15-year-old arrested after man shot, killed during robbery attempt outside Buckhead apartment complex

ATLANTA — Atlanta police have made an arrest in the death of a man killed outside a Buckhead apartment complex.

Police told Channel 2 Action News Kevin Humes, 35, was shot during an attempted robbery while walking along Habersham Road on May 16.

This weekend, police arrested a 15-year-old and charged him with felony murder.

The suspect’s name has not been released and investigators are still searching for other suspects.

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.
