On Wednesday afternoon, February 18, 2015, 22-year-old Tomas Arriola was fatally shot during a robbery in Marietta, Georgia. Tomas was riding with his father, Tomas Arriola Sr., who was working as a taxi driver when they picked up two male passengers requesting a ride to the St. Augustine apartments. At the destination the passengers produced a handgun, robbed the pair and, during the robbery, one of the assailants shot the younger Arriola. Arriola Sr. drove his son to a convenience store, and Tomas was taken to Kennestone Hospital, where he died.

Marietta police identified two suspects: 20-year-old Abdul Malik Griffin and 19-year-old James Lee Black. Griffin was arrested March 2 in Powder Springs and charged with murder, armed robbery and firearm possession during a crime. Information from Griffin and witness statements pointed to Black as the alleged gunman. Black was arrested April 4 in Buffalo, New York, identified in part by tattoos reading New on his right hand and York on his left, then extradited to Georgia on murder and robbery-related charges. Investigators say the same pair wore matching clothing in a similar taxi robbery that occurred within hours of Arriola’s killing.

Did anyone who knew Tomas or who was in the St. Augustine apartments area that afternoon see the taxi or the two men before or after the shooting?
