Police did not confirm whether there were any other victims or if any suspects had been taken into custody. Officers also did not confirm the number of people who were at the unauthorized party. Atlanta Public Schools subsequently released a statement following the incident: ‘According to Atlanta Police, two teenagers were shot during an unauthorized gathering at the end of the existing driveway at Benjamin E. Mays High School, early Sunday morning. ‘One is deceased and one is being treated at a local hospital. ‘The gathering occurred after a graduation party at another location in the community was broken up by Atlanta Police a couple of hours earlier. Please contact Atlanta Police for more information.’
A friend of the victim’s family told Fox5: ‘There were no prior altercations that led to this shooting. There was nothing that Bre’Asia did to cause this, to bring this about, to incite this. This was an unfortunate tragedy that has shaken a family and friends circle to its core.’ Atlanta’s mayor Andre Dickens, Atlanta Police, the Atlanta Public Schools superintendent, and the school police department held a press conference on Sunday to provide details on the incident.
Dickens, who is an alumni of the high school where the shooting took place, said he had spoken with Ms. Powell’s and the unidentified 16-year-old’s mothers. He told the press conference that teenagers needed to make better decisions like going home at a certain time of night and the need for parents to be involved in their children’s lives. The mayor also said Ms. Powell was due to start working for the City this week as part of its youth employment program. Police said that it is still unknown who fired the shots and the exact details that led up to the shooting as the investigation remains ongoing.
