Kelsey Quayle has been identified as the 28-year-old model who was shot in the neck while driving on Upper Riverdale Road in Clayton County around 7 a.m. on the morning of Monday, October 8.
According to reports, while Quayle — a native Yucaipa in San Bernardino County, California — was driving along Upper Riverdale Road, a bullet entered her neck, severing her spinal cord at the base of her brain, which caused “catastrophic” brain damage. Police said that there were no reports of gunfire in the area at the time of Quayle’s crash.
Quayle was pronounced dead on Wednesday, October 10, after being taken off life support. She had just moved to the area a few months prior to her death.
Speaking to Fox, Kelsey’s sister Kayleigh said that “right now a theory would be road rage, or maybe just a cross-fire maybe but we just have so many unanswered questions.”
At this time, there are no suspects or persons of interest. Additionally, no arrests have been made. Police are asking anyone with information about the tragedy to come forward and assist in the investigation by calling CrimeStoppers on 404-577-8477.

Quayle’s car began drifting across lanes and into oncoming traffic. Police said Quayle’s car hit a Suzuki XL-7 and a Ford Escape, before coming to a stop. The Ford flipped over but the driver only suffered minor injuries. It was only after doctor’s at Grady Hospital began working on Quayle that it was discovered she had suffered a gunshot wound.
Captain Scott Stubbs of the Clayton County PD had earlier told the media that investigators believe the shooting was the “primary cause of her not being conscious, leaving the roadway into the length of traffic.”
A GoFundMe for Quayle’s family has raised over $15,000 at the time of this writing.
