Shortly after midnight on May 29, 2015, a burst of gunfire at a Texaco on Flat Shoals Road in Decatur, Georgia, left 18-year-old Cortez Ingram dead and 19-year-old Torin Waters wounded. Police say a white vehicle pulled up to the pump area and occupants opened fire. Both men were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital; Ingram died of a gunshot to the chin that lacerated his jugular vein.

DeKalb County investigators soon identified three suspects: 34-year-old Tlarence Harris, 32-year-old Christopher Hudson, and 33-year-old Martez Johnson. Harris and Hudson were arrested within days; Johnson initially evaded capture but was later arrested and charged alongside them. Court testimony described prior conflict between Johnson and Ingram, including alleged threats and an incident the day of the shooting in which Ingram reportedly pointed a gun at Johnson’s girlfriend. Johnson claimed self-defense, saying he saw Ingram with a handgun and believed Ingram was advancing; Waters testified he returned fire after the first shots.

Martez Johnson was convicted of felony murder in Ingram’s death and aggravated assault of Waters and was sentenced on August 17, 2016, to life in prison with a concurrent 20-year term for the assault. Does anyone have more information about the events at the gas station that night or knew either victim?
