Gwinnett County, GA – Authorities have arrested 21-year-old Tyreun Whitaker in connection with a fatal double shooting that left 26-year-old Kevnna Robinson dead and another man injured in Gwinnett County over the weekend.

According to the Gwinnett County Police Department (GCPD), officers responded to multiple reports of gunfire around 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 10, 2025, at a residential neighborhood in the 1800 block of Ardsley Place.

Upon arrival, police discovered Kevnna Robinson, 26, unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, an unidentified male, was also found suffering from gunshot wounds and was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency medical treatment. His condition remains critical but stable.

Investigation and Arrest

Following an intense investigation, detectives quickly identified the suspect as 21-year-old Tyreun Whitaker. Authorities believe the shooting was an isolated domestic-related incident and not a random act of violence.

With the assistance of the Acworth Police Department and Cobb County SWAT, Whitaker was tracked down and taken into custody at a hotel in Acworth, GA, late Saturday night.

Whitaker was transported to the Gwinnett County Jail, where he was formally charged with the following offenses:

• Malice Murder
• Felony Murder
• Two Counts of Aggravated Assault
• Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony

He remains in police custody without bond as the investigation continues.

Crime Scene Details and Witness Accounts

According to neighboring residents, the shooting erupted after an argument inside the home escalated. Witnesses report hearing multiple gunshots, followed by screams for help.

“It was terrifying. We heard at least five or six shots, and then everything went silent. Then we saw police swarming the area within minutes,” said Jason Miller, a neighbor who lives a few houses away from the scene.

Another witness, Michelle Carter, who was walking her dog nearby, stated that she saw a man running from the home moments before police arrived. “It was so fast. I just saw someone take off, and then I heard sirens. It was chaos.”

Victim Kevnna Robinson Remembered
