Michael Bemus, 65, was found dead in his taxi in the early morning of August 6, 2015. Police discovered Bemus fatally shot in the head while seated in his Victory Taxi outside the Allround Suites hotel on Northwest Parkway in Marietta after a 911 call shortly before 3 a.m. Bemus, known as Mikey to friends and regular customers, was remembered for often helping people get home safely and sometimes not accepting a fare.

Marietta police quickly identified a person of interest and arrested 34-year-old Justin Marquis Graves of Marietta within hours. Prosecutors said the motive appeared to be robbery: Graves allegedly took money from Bemus to pay for a room at the extended-stay motel where the shooting occurred and was captured on video paying the bill shortly after the estimated time of the killing. In October 2017 a Cobb County jury convicted Graves on seven counts including malice murder and felony murder; he testified at trial and admitted to lying to police earlier.

Did anyone in the Marietta area know Michael Bemus or notice anything unusual around the Allround Suites on the night of August 5–6, 2015?
