A road rage dispute on Interstate 20 on October 31, 2022, ended in a fatal shooting that took the life of 25-year-old Darryl Wiley. Wiley was in a vehicle with his girlfriend and her three-year-old daughter when the other driver allegedly pursued them into a DeKalb County parking lot on Gresham Road.

In the parking lot, Simmons reportedly exited his vehicle and opened fire, striking Wiley multiple times; Wiley was later pronounced dead. The child was not struck by gunfire but suffered injuries from shattered glass. Eyewitnesses at a nearby liquor store and a barbecue restaurant said they heard the shots and the screams that followed. A memorial of flowers was left at the scene. Law enforcement identified and arrested Eric Simmons and charged him with murder and aggravated assault in connection with the incident.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about what happened that afternoon, please share tips or contact the investigators handling the case.
