On May 3, 2014, 29-year-old Michael Phillips was killed at a social gathering at a Stone Mountain apartment complex. Phillips was described as an innocent bystander when a dispute involving 17-year-old Alexis Malone escalated. Malone called for assistance from fellow members of the Bloods, shots were fired, and Phillips was fatally struck.

Investigators later linked Phillipss death to a chain of violence that included the May 9 killing of Malone, who had been lured to a remote location, and a May 10 home invasion in which three women were shot and a 9-month-old baby, KenDarious Edwards, Jr., was killed. Several young people were identified as being called to the party to assist Malone: Oslushla Smith, 19; Kemontay Cullins, 18; and Cutrez Johnson, 16, and Kayla Dixon, 20. Indictments in Phillipss death included malice murder, felony murder, and violations of the street gang terrorism and prevention act.

Some suspects were arrested and later faced legal proceedings; one pleaded guilty and received life plus additional years, and another received a multiyear sentence. If anyone has information about Michael Phillips, the events on May 3, 2014, or the people involved, please share what is known.
