A domestic argument in late winter 2022 in Warner Robins, Georgia, ended with 52-year-old Phillip Thompson shot multiple times at a residence on North Davis Drive. Officers found him on the morning of March 7; he was treated on scene and taken to the Medical Center, Atrium Health Navicent. Thompson survived for three weeks but died of his injuries on March 30, 2022.

Police say Thompson’s wife, Shanita Thompson, admitted to shooting him during an argument. She was initially arrested on aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime; after Phillip’s death those counts were upgraded to homicide. Shanita was released on bond and reportedly gave conflicting accounts of what happened. Phillip, partially disabled after a 2019 stroke, owned New Beginning, a tow shop, and was remembered by family and friends for painting and customizing vehicles. Disagreements about his burial compounded the family’s grief.

Did anyone in Warner Robins know Phillip or have information about the March 7 incident?
