Atlanta police say the crash happened Tuesday night, when a car driven by Nikolai Dunford struck Gamble’s vehicle. Investigators say Dunford was traveling 94 mph in an area with a posted speed limit of 30 mph. Dunford was scheduled to appear before a judge Thursday, according to police information reported Oct. 15.

Residents say the intersection is used by many pedestrians, including students who live nearby and do not have cars. They are calling for speed bumps and a traffic light.

“It’s not safe,” resident Kayla Starks said, arguing that a signal might have helped prevent the collision. Another nearby resident, Precious Sesay, said the crash was loud enough to shake her building. She called 911 and urged responders to get help to Gamble quickly.

Gamble’s family is grieving while seeking answers about the crash. Her father, George Gamble, said relatives are trying to process her death. Her sister, Azhae Hylton, remembered Gamble as someone who wanted to help others and bring people together.

The family said Gamble started clubs and podcasts and appeared in Netflix’s “A Different World” reboot. Flowers have been left at the crash site.

Atlanta City Councilman Jason Winston, whose District 1 includes Summerhill, called the death a painful reminder of the need for neighborhood traffic safety. He said he would work with the mayor’s administration and the community to review existing safety efforts along the corridor and identify additional steps to reduce the risk of future crashes.

Residents’ calls for traffic-calming measures come as students and neighbors describe the intersection as a busy walking area. The city has not announced specific changes or a timeline for a safety review.
