Public's Help Sought In ID'ing Suspects In Fatal DeKalb Shooting

DECATUR, GA — The public's help is needed in identifying two suspects in a fatal Rockbridge Road gas station shooting that occurred two years ago.

The DeKalb County District Attorney's Office identified the man who died as Keng Wilson, 20.

The DA's office said in a news release Friday Wilson was shot to death on July 8, 2021, while trying to fill up his car with gas.

While Wilson was pumping gas, a man identified as 26-year-old Joshua Ontario Simpson approached Wilson and exchanged words with him, the DA's office said. Simpson was accused of pulling a gun from his waistband and walking around to the front of Wilson's car to prevent him from leaving.

The DA's office said Simpson and two unidentified suspects shot Wilson multiple times. Paramedics took Wilson to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Simpson was arrested in August 2021 and charged on suspicion of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a first offender probationer and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony in connection with Wilson’s death, the DA's office said.

Investigators with the DA's office are seeking the public's help in identifying the remaining two suspects.

One suspect wore a white long-sleeved T-shirt with a large graphic, blue jeans and a patterned bucket hat. The second suspect wore a white T-shirt with dark jeans and a black backpack.

Anyone with information about the suspects or the shooting is asked to call the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office tip line, (404) 371-2444.
