On the night of June 22, 2021, a mass shooting at an Exxon station on the corner of Glenwood and Austin in Decatur, Georgia, left two men dead and two others wounded. Marvin Leo Jackson Jr., 27, was among a group gathered in front of the gas station when 59-year-old Charles Hickman approached and opened fire, fatally wounding Jackson. More than 50 shots were fired from at least four different weapons during the incident.

As Hickman tried to flee, members of Jackson’s group returned fire; Hickman was shot and killed in that exchange. Two other men, described as being in their late 20s and early 30s, were hit and taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A black car parked at the station was riddled with bullet holes.

DeKalb County investigators determined those who fired back did so in self-defense, and no charges were filed against them. The motive for Hickman’s initial attack on Marvin Leo Jackson Jr. remains unclear. Does anyone have information about what led up to the shooting or who was present that night?
