On the morning of October 14, 2017, 22-year-old Khristopher Dixon was shot and killed inside his Crestside Drive townhouse in Austell, Georgia. Neighbors described Dixon as friendly and focused on his T-shirt and tattoo businesses. An acquaintance, Corey Nelson, arrived at Dixon’s home, was let inside, and as Dixon began walking up the stairs to his bedroom he was struck in the back of the head by a .380-caliber handgun.

Roommates heard no argument before the gunfire; they reported an initial shot followed when Nelson came downstairs and then returned upstairs to fire two more rounds into Dixon’s head. A neighbor heard tires screeching as a dark SUV drove away just before police arrived. Cobb County officers found Dixon deceased from multiple gunshot wounds.

No clear motive had been identified.

If anyone knew Khristopher, his routines, or saw a dark SUV near Crestside Drive that morning, please share what you know.
