Tanaya Dunlap, listed in records as Tanya Dunlap in some reports, was killed in the early morning hours of June 13, 2017, in the parking lot of a Waffle House on Flat Shoals Parkway in Decatur, Georgia. The encounter followed a reported domestic dispute with her boyfriend, 27-year-old Anthony Henderson Perryman; Perryman, Dunlap and Perryman’s father had traveled to Decatur from Columbus earlier that night. After an argument outside the car around 1:40 a.m., witnesses described Perryman pulling Dunlap’s hair as she tried to exit the vehicle. A single gunshot struck Dunlap in the left side of her head; she was found still breathing but died en route to the hospital.

Witnesses said Perryman drove around the lot with a door open, yelling threats, then fled the scene. Surveillance footage shown at trial captured Dunlap walking to the car and then falling as an SUV left the lot. The DeKalb County chief medical examiner testified the shot was fired from about two to three feet away. Perryman was apprehended two days later and was convicted of malice murder and related charges.

Did anyone in the Decatur area witness the argument or the vehicle leaving the Waffle House parking lot that night?
