On the evening of December 12, 2022, 26-year-old Trayvon Dunnaville was shot and killed at a Shell gas station on Old National Highway in South Fulton, Georgia. After finishing work, Dunnaville and his pregnant fiancée stopped for gas; he went into the convenience store and, returning to the parking lot, mistakenly opened the door of a car parked one row away from his own. The driver of that vehicle, Dericole Daniel, shot Dunnaville four times. Dunnaville’s fiancée witnessed the shooting from their nearby car and ran over, pleading with the shooter that he was at the wrong vehicle. Security footage captured Dunnaville walking from the store and approaching the wrong car before the shooting.

Daniel was arrested at the scene and initially charged with misdemeanor voluntary manslaughter; he was released on $150,000 bond. Two years later a grand jury indicted him on felony murder. The Fulton County District Attorney later offered a plea deal; Daniel pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a 25-year sentence requiring five years in prison followed by 20 years of probation. The plea allowed Daniel to self-report to Fulton County Jail by September 2 of the following year. His defense attorney said Daniel believed he was about to be robbed and acted in fear for his life.

Did anyone witness the moments before Dunnaville returned to the parking lot or see him earlier that evening?
