DeMario Poodah Wilson, 25, was shot and killed on September 8, 2020, at an apartment complex on Godby Road in College Park, in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The shooting followed a verbal argument with a woman described as his close friend; police say the dispute was over five dollars. Wilson was found with a gunshot wound and later pronounced dead by the Fulton County Medical Examiner.

Two days after the shooting, 21-year-old De’Ja Pierre-Ames turned herself in and was charged with murder; she was being held in the Fulton County jail. Wilson’s mother, Monica Wilson, spoke of profound grief and called for better conflict resolution among young people. The family also launched a GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses.

The case drew attention because a five-dollar dispute escalated to a fatal shooting. If anyone knew DeMario, his movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
