While the mortuary scandal dominated cultural commentary, the homicide investigation proceeded through Georgia's criminal justice system. On November 7, 2020, the Atlanta Police Department secured warrants charging 22-year-old Timothy Leeks, known as "Lul Timm," with felony murder. Leeks, an associate of Quando Rondo, was wounded by gunfire during the parking lot shootout and taken into custody while receiving medical treatment at Grady Memorial Hospital.

Leeks spent months in custody before being granted a $100,000 bond in March 2021. For nearly three years, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office evaluated the case against defense arguments centered on Georgia’s robust self-defense and defense-of-others statutes (O.C.G.A. § 16-3-21). Defense counsel contended that Leeks fired his weapon to protect Quando Rondo from imminent death or severe bodily injury as Bennett and his crew engaged in physical violence.

In August 2023, prosecutors formally dropped all murder charges against Timothy Leeks. The Fulton County District Attorney’s office determined that under Georgia’s statutory framework regarding justifiable use of force in defense of a third party, obtaining a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt was not legally feasible. The dismissal closed the primary criminal homicide case, cementing Bennett’s death as an unprosecuted casualty of justifiable defense under Georgia state law.
