Phildarious Parrish was an 18-year-old senior at Stephenson High School when he was fatally shot on Thursday, February 28, 2019, in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The shooting followed a dispute that began the previous day in the school bus lane between Parrish and a 15-year-old freshman from the same school. Both students had been suspended after the initial altercation.

The next day Parrish and two friends went to the freshman’s home on Lakewater View Drive. An argument there escalated and the 15-year-old allegedly fired the shots that struck Parrish. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his injuries. DeKalb County police identified and arrested the 15-year-old and charged him with murder; his name was not released because of his age.

Parrish’s family described him as planning to become a small business owner and the school district sent a crisis team to support students and staff. If anyone was at Lakewater View Drive or witnessed the events around February 27–28, 2019, please come forward with information.
