Martrell Gay, 25, was shot to death inside the West End Food Market on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard in Atlanta on March 7, 2015. He was shot in the face and died after being taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. Investigators tied the killing to a man from North Carolina, Antonio Williams, who reportedly drove more than 200 miles to Atlanta after Gay had allegedly stolen $900 from him during a marijuana deal weeks earlier. Surveillance footage captured Williams looking through the store window before entering, confronting Gay and shooting him at close range. The video, which showed the suspect with blond-streaked dreadlocks, generated tips that led to Williams’s identification and arrest.

The case centers on a revenge motive following the earlier theft and a fatal confrontation inside a neighborhood grocery store. Did anyone who lived near the market or knew Gay or Williams notice unusual activity around the store that afternoon?
