Goldy Lee Watkins Sr., a 59-year-old Black man from Riverdale, Georgia, was shot twice and killed inside his home on Stark Court on May 27, 2014. Reports describe the killing as a deeply personal and violent confrontation: Watkins had been sheltering a younger man, Joseph Horace Stephens, 21, who police say Watkins tried to evict after suspecting theft. Investigators say the dispute turned deadly and that Stephens fled in Watkins’ black 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck.

Clayton County sheriff’s officials arrested Stephens on May 29, 2014; charges reported then included felony murder, theft by taking, aggravated assault, and false imprisonment. One report said he was being held without bail and that his mother helped turn him in, while Stephens denied to a television reporter that he had killed the man who had given him a place to stay.

Did anyone in Riverdale know Watkins or Stephens and have information about that night?
