Phillip Lamar Davis, a 47-year-old Black/African American disabled military veteran, was killed in an early-morning ambush at his home on Mountain Oaks Parkway near Stone Mountain, Georgia, on September 1, 2017. Surveillance footage captured several men arriving in a vehicle, moving to the side of the residence and waiting in military-style clothing and masks; at least one was armed with an AR-15-style rifle. Davis and his wife were preparing to leave when the garage opened and the masked men advanced. Davis fought one attacker while another reportedly opened fire; he was shot in the abdomen and later died. The attackers fled and initially nothing appeared to have been taken.

Investigators later received an anonymous tip that the shooting was a contracted killing tied to an alleged unpaid drug debt. Authorities linked Jose Luis Marquez-Colon to the ambush through surveillance images, tactical gear recovered at his residence and phone records; prosecutors later charged him with murder. Reporting described a large quantity of fentanyl found at Davis’s home, and two other defendants identified in the probe pleaded guilty. Does anyone have information about the planning or the people seen on surveillance that morning?
