Carr says that one of the teenagers is a member of the “Young Stupid Reckless” gang, and the other is a member of “Sex Money Murder” gang.
The attorney general says the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the groups.
Reed’s mother told Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell that her son, who lives in Douglasville, was visiting family and friends in Cobb County before the shooting happened.

De’Siyah was affectionately known as “Turtle,” and his family said he lit up every room he walked into with his smile and dance moves.
