Claude Dickerson, 29, was shot and killed in Atlanta on July 26, 2014 during what he believed was a planned drug transaction arranged by Ricky Hudson. Dickerson, an African American man from Montgomery, Alabama, was found with a gunshot wound to the back of the head and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died.

John Husband and Janorris Spears were allegedly recruited to assist. The group met in a stairwell at an apartment complex in the 600 block of University Avenue. Banks reportedly pulled a gun on Dickerson while Husband and another man ambushed Hudson and held him at gunpoint; Hudson escaped by jumping from an apartment window.

Four arrests were made in August 2014 in connection with the killing: Denham, Banks, Husband and Spears. Spears was said to have a prior record and authorities reported finding a coded letter in his jail cell containing a death threat against a jail employee. Has anyone who knew Claude or was in that area on July 26, 2014 come forward with information?
