On September 27, 2014, the body of 53-year-old Calvin Gholston, known to family as Butterball, was found in a breezeway of the Spring Mill Village shopping center on Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain, Georgia. He had been shot multiple times in what police described as a brutal homicide. Family members said Gholston lived with his brother and suffered from schizophrenia, and they could think of no one who would want to harm the gentle, caring man they knew.

The case went cold for weeks; investigators had no working surveillance cameras at the shopping center and exhausted available leads. In mid-December, police linked a loaded revolver carried by 34-year-old Aeman Lovel Presley to several other recent shootings through ballistics testing. During interrogation Presley confessed to multiple killings and said Gholston was his first victim, claiming he had intended to commit a robbery and then felt an urge to kill. Presley was indicted on the killings and later pleaded guilty, receiving multiple life sentences.

Did anyone in Stone Mountain or the shopping center area know Calvin’s habits or movements that September?
