Leevon Daniels, a 26-year-old television producer, was found dead near railroad tracks in downtown Lithonia, Georgia, in the early hours of May 3, 2015. Investigators say he had been walking alone and talking on his cellphone when a group of teenagers confronted him. The group, who had been committing a string of car break-ins, demanded his phone; after Daniels threw the phone to them, he was shot in the chest and left to die. Police called the killing a random and senseless act of violence over a cellphone.

A tip months later led to arrests. Between January 28 and February 1, 2016, five teenagers were taken into custody and charged with Felony Murder and Armed Robbery; a warrant was issued for a sixth teen. In October and November 2017 some defendants pleaded or were convicted: two pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault; one was convicted by a jury of Murder, Felony Murder and related charges and was identified as the shooter and sentenced to life plus 15 years, with that conviction later affirmed on appeal. Did anyone who knew Leevon or who was in that area that morning see anything that could still help fill gaps in the timeline?
