Suspect in South Fulton driveway shooting on the run

A mother is still looking for the gunman who opened fire on her son in his own driveway five months ago. The family of Duquaye Williams is still pleading for answers surrounding his death.

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. - Duquaye Williams was shot in his South Fulton driveway nearly five months ago. His family says they're still searching for his killer.

"You need to turn yourself in," said Wilma Edmounds. "My son did not deserve that."

The shooting happened on June 8 around 1:20 a.m. on the 4300 block of Rainer Drive located in the Estates of Stonewall Manor, according to South Fulton Police.

Witnesses told FOX 5 they noticed a car they don't usually see in Williams' driveway. Then they heard three shots.

Edmounds says that fateful day feels like it just happened yesterday.

"I pray every day to my God to help me to get closure for me and my family, because we are in a lot of pain," she told FOX 5.

Williams' niece, Emonnie Pettway, says she wishes she had more time to spend with her uncle.

"You took someone from multiple people, and it hurts," she said. "Our hearts are broken."

Police say the 43-year-old went to a neighbor's house for help. He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. 

'Who would want to hurt him, and why? As long as I'm living, I'm going to make sure that you'll be caught, and I am not going to stop until we find you," said Edmounds. 

FOX 5 reached out to South Fulton Police for the latest on the investigation. As of Tuesday night, we have not heard back.
