🚨 PUBLIC SAFETY WARNING 🚨

After what recently happened at this establishment, I’m urging everyone to PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE GOING HERE.

When an establishment appears to be operating without adequate staffing or visible security, especially after a serious incident, that should concern everyone, not just the people directly involved.

Don’t put yourself or your loved ones in unnecessary danger. Until there are clear answers and meaningful safety measures in place, I strongly encourage people to choose somewhere else.

Praying for everyone who was hurt and affected. 🙏🏾 We need accountability, safety, and immediate attention from the appropriate authorities.

Your life and safety are worth more than one night out. #shutdownthemarquette #atlantamayor @andreforatlanta taken in Marquette Lounge by @868cafe

🚨🚨 THIS REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION 🚨🚨

According to local news reports, two people were injured and transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, and Atlanta Police responded to the scene.

🎥 WATCH THE VIDEO.

This is not about a personal dispute. This is about PUBLIC SAFETY.

When a serious violent incident occurs at a public establishment, the community deserves more than silence. We deserve to know that the situation is being taken seriously and that every appropriate step is being taken to protect patrons, employees and the surrounding community.

I am not accusing the establishment or any individual of causing this incident, and I am not claiming to know facts that have not been established by investigators. APD should determine exactly what happened.

But I am calling for IMMEDIATE ACTION at this establishment :

🚨 Fully investigate this incident.
🚨 Review the circumstances surrounding what happened.
🚨 Assess whether there is any continuing risk to the public.
🚨 Take all lawful measures necessary to protect the community while the investigation is conducted.
🚨 If authorities determine that the establishment should not remain open for public safety reasons, take action without delay.

WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER SERIOUS INCIDENT BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED.

This is about the people who live here.
This is about the people who work here.
This is about everyone who walks through those doors expecting to make it home safely.

APD AND THE APPROPRIATE CITY AUTHORITIES: PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS NOW AND TAKE WHATEVER LAWFUL ACTION IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC.

The community deserves answers and, above all, SAFETY❗️ 🙏 Most importantly, my prayers are with the victims and their families. I pray for their healing and recovery.

Unbelievably, after more than a decade of 98+ health scores, the facility received a 77 just six months after we were no longer operating it because of the illegal eviction that took place in March.

The facts
• This is the May 6, 2026 health inspection report for Marquette Restaurant & Lounge.

• The report is public record.

• We were locked out of the property in November 2025 with limited access.

• This inspection occurred approximately six months later. We had been completely not let in since March 2026.

• During our 10+ years operating at this location, we consistently received health inspection scores of 98 and above.

• The May 2026 inspection resulted in a score of 77.

• The dates, scores, and inspection report are all public record. taken in Marquette Lounge by @868cafe

COURT ORDER #2

After the court ruled that we had the absolute right to re-enter the property and resume business operations, the keys were still not returned as ordered.

As a result, we had to return to court and seek enforcement of the judge’s ruling.

The court then issued a second order requiring Johnny Mims to surrender the current keys and reaffirmed that both Randi and Darius Malcolm had the absolute right to access and operate from the property, including the kitchen, storage areas, bathrooms, pantry, and utility spaces.

The court further ordered that we could enter and use the premises 24 hours a day until legally removed through a proper dispossessory proceeding.

When court orders have to be repeated, the record speaks for itself.

The facts matter. ⚖️ by @868cafe

FIRST COURT ORDER. (Public record)

The judge dismissed Johnny Mims’ claims against us and found that we were improperly removed from the restaurant through self-help measures without a valid dispossessory order.

The court further ruled that both Randi and Darius Malcolm had the absolute right to re-enter the property and resume business operations.

Our damages claim was not denied. It was dismissed without prejudice because lost profits require detailed financial analysis from a CPA or qualified expert and could not be based on estimates alone. The court specifically stated that we have the right to reassert our claims in a separate civil action.

This was the first order.

So for those asking where the facts are, here they are in a signed court order on May 26, 2026

The facts matter. Court records don’t lie. ⚖️ by @868cafe

It’s hard to put into words how much this hurts.

The same person who stood beside us, celebrated with us, and spoke at our grand opening is now at the center of efforts that threaten everything we’ve worked for.

What makes it even more difficult is that in court, it was made clear that we were not related

Yet here we are.

We poured our hearts, our savings, our time, and countless sleepless nights into building something for our family and our community.

Watching someone who once applauded your success turn around and fight against it is a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

But I’ve learned that adversity doesn’t define you,& how you respond does.

We will continue to stand on truth, faith, and perseverance. No matter what happens, we won’t stop fighting for what we’ve built.

The story isn’t over.

Sometimes the people who clap the loudest for your success are the same people who become uncomfortable when they realize you’re actually succeeding.

We’re still standing. And of course we’re not done yet, but I can’t allow anyone to continue to disrespect me.

Yes we were served eviction papers for both locations. 6,000 a month paid on time each month.

I need everyone to share because this isn’t right. We haven’t did anything wrong. This video shows someone who once publicly supported our vision. Today, that same individual serves on advisory and community leadership boards that help shape conversations about nightlife and business development in Atlanta.

All we’re asking for is fairness, transparency, and the opportunity to continue building what we’ve worked so hard to create. by @868cafe
