Vigilante Store Clerk Pulls Gun on Innocent 11-Year-Old Boy, Holds Him Hostage for Allegedly Stealing

An Atlanta store clerk has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault for illegally detaining an 11-year-old boy and holding him at gunpoint last Saturday morning.

According to Atlanta’s WSB-TV Channel 2 News, the young child, Dylan Curate, was at the store at 1:30 a.m. with adult relatives to buy a couple of things when Big Brother Grocery store clerk Abhishek Dubey suspected him of stealing.

At that moment, Dubey locked the doors by a remote and kept the young boy at gunpoint until cops arrived.

“I was extremely saddened and disheartened by it. That was my son, my baby,” says Dylan’s mother Deangela Terriquez. “He didn’t do anything wrong. He just came — he just came to the store.”

Witnesses informed Terriquez as soon as the incident happened.

The store’s employees say there have been recent robberies in the area and that they were taking precaution. Employee Atul Dwibedi says the gun Dubey used was not real. However, the gun was revealed to be an unloaded .22-caliber revolver.

When officers arrived, they looked at the surveillance footage and saw no wrongdoing on Dylan’s part. Dubey was arrested shortly after.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
