A late-night argument outside a Shell station at Whitehall and McDaniel streets in Atlanta turned deadly when 36-year-old William Respress Jr. was shot and killed. The confrontation began about 3 a.m. on October 2, 2016, when Respress argued with a small group. A compact silver-gray car carrying four men arrived, and one occupant allegedly produced a firearm and shot Respress multiple times in the torso. An off-duty Atlanta police officer found Respress outside the front doors; he died at the scene. Another person involved in the argument was grazed by a bullet and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

On October 19, 2016, Dominique Jackson was arrested and charged with one count of murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; investigators say Jackson was believed to be one of the four men in the car. Was anyone in the area that night able to see the car or its occupants or provide information about the argument?
