Marcaysia Dawkins was 19 when she was shot and killed while waiting at a MARTA bus stop on Fairington Road in Lithonia, Georgia, on the morning of November 23, 2014. A recent graduate of Lithonia High School, she worked at a daycare and had plans to join the Navy. She was reportedly on her way to get a bus pass when the attack occurred.

Surveillance footage showed an 18-year-old man, identified as Christopher Merritt, approach Dawkins, try to take her handbag and, after a struggle, shoot her twice with a 9mm handgun. She was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died of her injuries. Merritt was arrested within a week at an abandoned apartment in Lithonia; investigators linked evidence from the scene to other alleged armed robberies and sexual assaults.

A grand jury indicted Merritt on multiple counts related to Dawkins’ death, including murder and armed robbery, and the district attorney announced an intention to seek the death penalty. In a later plea, Merritt admitted guilt and received life without parole. Does anyone have information on Marcaysia’s final movements that morning or spoke with witnesses near that bus stop?
