On May 10th, 2024, at approximately 10:53 a.m., a red Dodge Ram TRX pickup truck was observed at a BP gas station on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway in violation of window tint regulations, with its front windshield heavily tinted.
The vehicle exited a Chevron station located at 3260 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and proceeded south on Bolton Road.
The vehicle was followed due to its high speed, with the rear of the truck visible as it navigated several sharp curves. Initially, no report of a pursuit was made to Troop C Communications, given previous instances where drivers were unaware of being followed.
However, as the vehicle continued to accelerate at an unusual pace, Troop C Communications was notified of an active vehicle pursuit, and details of the vehicle and its location were provided.
Due to traffic conditions, including a residential area and steep road curves, the speed of the pursuit was moderated. As the vehicle continued southbound on Bolton Road, a silver SUV appeared to block both lanes of traffic.
Upon navigating around the SUV, it was discovered that the red Dodge had been involved in a serious crash, rendering the vehicle immobile. Emergency services were immediately alerted, and a response was coordinated through Troop C Communications.
Earlier that day, Keiwon Tucker, also known as @32scammgodd on social media, had posted a video alleging harassment by Georgia State Patrol officers. Hours later, Tucker engaged in a high-speed chase that ended with the fatal crash of his Dodge TRX after colliding with a pole.
Upon arrival at the crash scene, significant blood loss was observed on the driver’s side of the vehicle, with the driver’s seat partially detached from the cab. The driver remained strapped to the seatbelt and was unresponsive. Corporal Bullock and TFC Tennant soon arrived to assist with securing the area and controlling the crowd of bystanders attempting to access the scene.
A closer inspection of the driver revealed profuse bleeding from the head and ear area. Troop C Communications was notified, and the Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team (SCRT) was requested. SFC Moremen, Sgt. Youngblood, and TFC Phillips from SCRT soon arrived on the scene to assist with the investigation. Marker flags were placed to identify the collision points. The driver was later identified as Keiwon Tucker of Atlanta, Georgia, after Corporal Bullock recovered his wallet. A check through the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC) and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) revealed a valid driver’s license and an outstanding warrant for shoplifting in Douglas County.
While conducting a vehicle inventory, a backpack was discovered on the driver’s floorboard. The contents of the bag included a Kel-Tec pistol without a serial number, two small bags of suspected crack cocaine, and other personal items. Following the crash investigation, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office was contacted to assist in removing the driver’s body from the scene.
Medical examiners arrived, completed their investigation, and transported Mr. Tucker’s body from the crash site. The vehicle was recovered by S&W, and Douglas County authorities were informed of the outstanding warrant.
