Anterrance Dejuan Gresham, a 30-year-old father of five, was fatally shot on May 15, 2017, in Lithonia, Georgia. The shooting happened in the evening outside the Lithonia Package store on Chupp Road near Covington Highway after Gresham had just left the store on his scooter and stopped to have a drink with his cousin. A silver car drove by and multiple shots were fired; Gresham was struck in the back and his cousin was shot in the thigh. The cousin managed to flee and get help, and before losing the ability to speak Gresham told a police officer that a silver car was involved. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

On September 1, 2017, authorities arrested 30-year-old Quinton Bentford in connection with the shooting and charged him with murder and aggravated assault. At a probable cause hearing on September 22, 2017, a magistrate judge ruled there was not enough evidence to proceed, citing self-defense, and the murder and aggravated assault charges were dropped; Bentford was released from jail in October 2017 after posting bond on unrelated charges. The DeKalb County District Attorney’s office stated the case remained open and under investigation.

Are there witnesses or local residents who remember that evening or who can provide information about a silver car in the area?
