Troy Donteau Saunders, a 39-year-old Black man listed as being from Bonaire, was shot and killed in Columbus, Georgia, on January 24, 2014. Police said the shooting occurred at a motel parking area and became the city’s first homicide of the year. A passenger with Saunders reportedly escaped the gunfire, but Saunders did not survive.

Police moved quickly after the killing: multiple arrests were announced and a fourth suspect was later identified as Trevon Trey Brown, reported to be 19 years old in contemporaneous coverage. The incident was publicly tied to the Super 8 Motel, and available reports describe the scene as chaotic and fast-moving, with several people involved in the attack.

Did anyone in the Columbus area have information about Saunders, his companion that night, or the events at the Super 8 Motel?
