In the early morning hours of January 3, 2019, Quinton Porter, 35, and his childhood friend Frederick Parker were found shot to death inside a maroon SUV on Lee Street in southwest Atlanta. The killings drew a large, emotional crowd of about 100 people at the scene, where a fight broke out among family and friends grieving the losses.

Investigators concluded the shootings were not random and believed Porter and Parker were the intended targets. Reports say Porter had a reputation for carrying large sums of cash, sometimes more than 100,000, and that he and Parker had been out that night. Police focused on two acquaintances, Johnathan Pittman and Carlos White; Pittman was identified as the shooter who exited a white Toyota Camry and fired into the SUV, while White was named as the getaway driver. White was arrested and charged and held without bond.

The motive investigators pursued was an attempted robbery tied to the victims carrying significant cash. Does anyone have additional information about Porter’s movements that night or about acquaintances who might help clarify what led to the ambush?
