On the night of April 22, 2003, 26-year-old Fulton County Police Officer Aaron Jovon Blount was killed shortly after initiating a traffic stop in the Red Oak area of Fulton County, Georgia. Blount had been at his desk for most of the shift and went on patrol; about 18 minutes after leaving the station he stopped an erratically driven vehicle at Roosevelt Highway and Ben Hill Road. Before he could radio the stop, the driver exited and opened fire while Blount remained in his patrol car. He was struck twice in the head and once in the shoulder.

A passing officer found Blount slumped over the wheel; his patrol car had rolled and stopped against railroad tracks. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and died shortly after arrival. He left behind a fiancée and a 13-month-old son. The shooter fled but was arrested five days later in Miami and returned to Fulton County on a capital murder charge; the defendant later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received life in prison.

Was anyone in the Red Oak area that night aware of a vehicle behaving erratically or saw the traffic stop unfold?
