The incident occurred on July 21, 2021 at approximately 2 a.m. at The Falls apartment complex in Duluth.

Daquain R. Livingston, 21, Elijah Nil Curney, 20, Dashawn Andrettie Harris, 18, and a previously convicted suspect confronted the pair in the parking lot of an apartment complex where their two vehicles were parked next to each other.

According to the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office, the men pointed guns at the couple and attacked the woman, holding the gun at the boy and forcing him to watch the attack. At one point, one of the suspects threatened to “blow her brains out” if the woman retaliated in any way during the assault. After the attack, the suspects took items from both victims’ cars and left, while the victims fled in different directions. They both called the police.

The prosecutor’s office said authorities managed to obtain descriptions of the three. Gwinnett officials compared Ring video camera footage collected from the area just before the attack.

Police were later able to match DNA from the rape kit to Curney. Police compared fingerprints in the vehicle to Harris.

During this time, police received reports of break-ins into other cars in the area, and a gun was stolen from one of the vehicles. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Curney was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped and searched a little over a month later and a stolen gun was found inside.

Investigators interviewed Curney, who compared surveillance footage from the day of the incident. Investigators said he admitted being there during the rape and partially identified the other suspects. When police searched Curney’s phone, they found frequent contacts and social media posts with Harris.

Livingston was identified by his height, which was described as over 6 feet, and the bright red sweatpants he was wearing on the night of the rape.

“This is a despicable crime that absolutely cannot be ignored,” said Gwinnett County District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson. “The trauma that these defendants have inflicted on the victims is unimaginable, and these three men deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.”

On Monday, all three were found guilty of rape, aggravated sodomy and armed robbery. Curney was also convicted of possessing a firearm during the commission of a crime.

They will be sentenced on October 28.
