Dexter Willis, a 38-year-old African American man, was fatally shot in Atlanta on November 2, 2019. The shooting occurred inside Westview Grocery on Westview Drive. Surveillance video from the store shows a verbal argument between Willis and another man that escalated when the other man produced a handgun and fired a single shot, striking Willis in the chest. First responders transported Willis to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The man captured on surveillance remained at large for more than a year and was listed among the Atlanta Police Department’s most wanted. On December 10, 2020, a traffic stop for running a red light led officers to detain a suspicious driver who gave several false names. He was identified as 35-year-old Eddie Laye and arrested; he was booked into the Fulton County Jail without bond on a murder charge and also faced DUI and reckless driving counts from the traffic stop.

Does anyone have information about the shooting at Westview Grocery or recall the surveillance footage from that day?
