On the evening of January 10, 2015, in Atlanta’s Castleberry Hill neighborhood, 26-year-old Donovan Big Nut Thomas was standing outside a barbershop on McDaniel Street when he was struck in a drive-by shooting. Two other people—a man and a 14-year-old boy—were wounded and survived. Thomas was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and died of multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. Investigators said the shooting was not believed to be random and suggested Thomas was the intended target.

The killing became linked to a larger inquiry into the Atlanta-based street gang Young Slime Life, with prosecutors describing Thomas as a member of a rival gang, the Inglewood Family Bloods. Several individuals associated with YSL were later indicted in connection with the murder; among those charged were Deamonte Kendrick, known as Yak Gotti, and Shannon Stillwell. Another suspect, Demise McMullen, was also charged and reportedly rejected a plea offer.

Does anyone have information about Thomas, his last movements that night, or contacts who might help clarify what happened?
