Richard Watson, 60, was shot and killed after intervening to stop an assault on a woman on Cusseta Road in Columbus, Georgia. The incident occurred on April 26, 2020, in the early hours of a Sunday morning. Watson — a Carver High School graduate described as someone who tried to protect people — stopped his vehicle to help the woman and was shot; multiple rounds were reportedly fired at his vehicle as he tried to drive away after being hit.

Eyewitnesses identified Frankie Walker as the man assaulting the woman and as one of the people who fired a weapon. Surveillance video from nearby businesses captured the incident, and Walker was arrested and charged with Watson’s murder. A court document from September 2022 shows Walker faced multiple charges, including murder and aggravated assault. Two other male suspects were reported present, but it is not publicly known whether they were identified or charged.

Did anyone in the Columbus area witness the assault or have information about the other men reportedly at the scene?
