Atlanta traffic stop video details arrest tied to South Carolina Airbnb homicide investigation and juvenile extradition

Traffic stop in southwest Atlanta led to a separate arrest and the detention of a juvenile later linked to a Columbia case

Atlanta police body-worn camera footage released in 2025 shows a mid-afternoon traffic stop along the Martin Luther King Jr. Drive corridor that ended with two arrests and the brief detention of a 15-year-old passenger. The stop occurred about 2 p.m. on May 15, 2025, after officers identified a white Chevrolet Malibu believed to be driven by Sanchez Turner in the 3000 block of MLK Jr. Drive.

Police said Turner was wanted on allegations including fleeing and eluding and theft by receiving. Video from the stop shows officers issuing commands for the driver and passengers to exit with hands visible, followed by detentions at the roadside.

Who was arrested during the Atlanta stop

Authorities said Turner was taken into custody on the outstanding warrants. Another passenger, identified as Jaiden Jackson, was also arrested after police said he provided a false name during the investigation. Police said Jackson, described as a convicted felon, was charged with false representation and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Both were booked into the Fulton County Jail, according to police.

A third passenger, a 15-year-old boy, was detained during the stop and later released to guardians. Police said the juvenile had no prior criminal history at the time of the Atlanta stop.

How the stop intersects with a South Carolina Airbnb shooting case

Separately, law enforcement in Columbia, South Carolina, has investigated a fatal shooting connected to a short-term rental property on Lincoln Street in the Elmwood Park neighborhood. The incident occurred shortly after 5 a.m. on June 6, 2025, after an initial call reported a possible auto break-in that was upgraded to shots fired and a person hit. Officers forced entry into the residence, found four young people with gunshot wounds, and provided emergency aid until EMS arrived.

One victim, 18-year-old Jayden Brackins, died from multiple gunshot wounds. Three other victims—a 17-year-old male and two 18-year-old females—were hospitalized and reported in stable condition at the time of initial public updates.

Arrests and charges announced in the Columbia investigation

Columbia police announced multiple arrests tied to the Lincoln Street case:

• An unnamed 15-year-old was arrested June 6, 2025, and charged with kidnapping, armed robbery with a deadly weapon, criminal conspiracy, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and possession of a firearm by a person under the age of 18.
• Latrell D.D. Hughey, 18, was arrested June 7, 2025, and charged with murder, armed robbery, three counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, criminal conspiracy, and possession of a firearm by a person under the age of 18.
• A 17-year-old male was later arrested in Atlanta in November 2025, extradited to Columbia, and placed in the custody of the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice. Police said he was charged with murder, criminal conspiracy, three counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and possession of a firearm by a person under the age of 18.

All defendants and charged juveniles are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

What remains unresolved

Investigators have said the motive for the Lincoln Street shooting remained under investigation in official updates. Police have also indicated that additional charges or arrests could follow as the case develops.
