On March 10, 2018, 31-year-old Daniel Wise was shot and killed in Lithonia, Georgia during a custody exchange at Regina Welch’s home on Chupp Road. Wise had arrived with a co-worker, Robbie Johnson, to pick up two of his children, a 4-year-old son and a 7-year-old daughter. After the children were secured in Wise’s car an argument broke out between Wise and Welch.

Ryals shot Wise eight times; Johnson, in the passenger seat, was also wounded but was able to shield the children. Wise managed to drive a short distance after being shot, then lost consciousness and crashed.

Ryals fled but turned himself in three days later and was arrested and charged in connection with the attack. Does anyone have further information about the custody exchange or what was known about the relationship dynamics at the time?
