OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On June 24, 2024, at approximately 4:30 p.m., a neighbor reported multiple individuals entering a vacant home in the 3200 block of Chippewa Drive in Rex, Georgia. Clayton County Police officers responded swiftly to the suspicious person call. Upon arrival, officers observed two individuals climbing out of a back window and two others inside the residence. Officers issued commands for all suspects to exit the property. During this process, 18-year-old Hakim Al-Nas emerged from the rear of the house with a handgun and moved toward officers stationed at the front. Police allege that Al-Nas continued advancing. One officer discharged his firearm, striking Al-Nas multiple times. Al-Nas was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is conducting an independent investigation into the incident. The involved officer has been placed on administrative leave, following standard protocol. The identities of the officer and the other detained individuals—two 18-year-olds and one 16-year-old—have not been disclosed. Al-Nas's mother, Chanteris Durham, expressed profound grief, stating, "It has broken us." She noted that her son had recently graduated from high school and was looking forward to his future.
