College Park police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two men seen running from the area of a double homicide at the Yorktown Condominiums on Yorktown Drive just after 11:00 p.m. Saturday.
Police say 19-year-old Devonta Stembridge and 16-year-old Dion Davis were shot by two unknown gunmen who may have been sitting in the backseat of Stembridge’s car.
The teens were unresponsive when paramedics and detectives arrived at Yorktown Condominiums in College Park around 11:15 p.m. Both teens were pronounced dead at the scene.
A resident in the complex saw two males running from the area of the car after hearing gunshots.
“This was a cowardly act for you to do this. This was a senseless crime,” Tomesha Simmons, Stembridge’s cousin, said as she and other family members gathered at the home of his grandmother today.
“We’re hurting, his mother is hurting. She’s hurting, please come forward and tell, tell anything you know,” Simmons said.
“First thing that comes to mind is robbery. Another thing that comes to mind is drugs,” Capt. Ferman Williford of the College Park Police Department said.
Detectives are looking into Stembridge and Davis’ phone records to see who they might have picked up or spoken to in the hours before the shooting.
Agents of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are assisting College Park police in the investigation.
Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to call College Park Detective Antoine Redding at (404) 761-3131, ext. 2245 or the department’s tip line: (404) 768-8664.
My goodness…this is so sad. Praying for peace for their families. RIP young brothers.
What a sad world we live in. Bunch of punks. May those families find solace during their times of sorrow.
My heart goes out to the familes of these young men. R.I.P.
This is an all to familiar scenario. So many of our young brothers are being taken out for foolishness. Those left behind are left so suffer.
My heart and prayers go out to the families of all those involved. So sad.
I hit “submit” too quickly. Left *to* suffer.
Were they having “relations” in the back seat? my brain seems to be pointing to the fact that this may have been a hate crime?
Very Sad :prays: for their families.
if the polic think they were shot from the backseat there’s no way they could’ve been “getting it on”. that was unneccesary.
anyway, God rest their souls & provide comfort 2 their families. i pray someone comes fwd with info..tired of our youth dying senselessly!
Wow this is crazy. Last night here in Portland, someone got shot and killed and another got stabbed. People are talking about moving away but where ever you go it’s going to be the same crazy stuff happening.

You can move to the “Burbs”, or stay in “The Hood”, it doesnt’s matter. Crime does not discriminate, just as bullets have no name. My biggest fear as a mom is burying my child. I just celebrated my dads bday w/fam & friends yesterday. He is 77. My dad moved up North from Mississippi decades ago, he can whistle at white women and not get lynched. This story is “suspect”. I am sick of drugs, and men afraid to come out of the closet. Condolences to the parents/family/friends of these two young men.

That was a Crack-HEAD Reunion for The AGES Wasn’t IT (Word…)
i’m tired of reading these stories. I don’t have any boys but mothers please try to raise your boys and find them a good example as a man. If and when these suspects are caught there will be 3 families devastated. Look you know if you boys are headed in the wrong direction. Don’t bury your head in the sand Don’t make excuses for them get them some help.
