In the early morning hours of July 31, 2019, Javon Ladson, 39, was fatally shot multiple times in the parking lot of a Citgo on Moreland Avenue in Conley, Georgia. The attack happened just after 1 a.m.; Ladson was dead at the scene. A black sedan at the scene was riddled with bullets and more than twenty shell casings were found on the pavement, details that led his family to believe he was specifically targeted.

The gas station manager reported that on-site surveillance cameras did not capture the incident. DeKalb County police initially had no leads and had not identified suspects. Family members, including his wife Kendra Dixon, made public pleas for justice and a vigil was held where loved ones lit candles and released balloons in his memory.

If anyone has information that could help bring answers for Javon’s family, please come forward.
