Markese Deontea Mahone, 25, also known as Pain City, was shot dead the early morning of October 3, 2014, at a Days Inn just outside Hinesville, Georgia. He was found unresponsive and bleeding from a fatal gunshot wound; the wound shattered his heart, arteries, and lungs, and proved fatal.

Investigators say the shooting occurred during a robbery that had been planned because Mahone was rumored to be carrying a large amount of cash. Court testimony describes Julous Mathenia waiting in a car as getaway driver while Derrick Harvey and James Stump approached hotel rooms. When they encountered Mahone on a stairwell, Harvey, armed with a shotgun, demanded to know what Mahone had; Mahone tried to flee and was struck when Harvey fired over the railing.

Mathenia and Stump later entered plea deals and testified against Harvey. A jury convicted Harvey of murder and criminal attempt to commit a felony; he received life without parole plus a consecutive ten-year term. If anyone knew Markese or has information about the events that night, please share what can help the record.
