FBI Atlanta Special Agents Arrest Man Wanted for Murders in Two States

ATLANTA, GA—FBI Atlanta special agents, working with law enforcement partners in Colorado and Georgia, captured fugitive David Kinney Jr. last Friday.

Following days of searching, special agents located him at an apartment in Clayton County. Kinney was wanted on a fugitive warrant out of the FBI’s Denver Field Office.

Authorities in Aurora, Colorado, charged Kinney with the August 5th murder of Kerris Silva. Kinney is also charged in the murder of Jaden McKinnon in Atlanta one week later.  McKinnon’s French bulldog was taken but has since been safely recovered.

FBI Atlanta would like to thank our partners at FBI Denver, along with Clayton County Police, Atlanta Police, and Aurora Police for their efforts leading to Kinney’s capture.
