Markeith Oliver

Died on July 7, 2017
He was shot in Atlanta.
Oliver was selling water at a gas station in southwest Atlanta when he got into an argument with people he knew, family members said. He was then shot to death as suspects fled the scene, according to police. Family members said Oliver was a “respectable young man” who loved basketball. Later that day, police took two suspects, twin brothers, into custody. One was released, but the other, 18-year-old Garrison Carreker, was arrested and charged with murder in Oliver’s death.
