LaDarius Darnell Hawkins was 19 when he was found shot in the back of the head in a College Park, Georgia, hotel room on October 15, 1998. He was discovered in his underwear; investigators initially considered robbery as a possible motive. The killing was described as execution-style.

Ballistics later linked the weapon used in Hawkins’ slaying to three other men found shot in the head at a downtown Atlanta Hilton hotel room on October 18, 1998: Ronald Gutkowski, 51, Phillip Dover, 31, and Gerrold Shropshire, 50. Authorities arrested Timothy Carl Dawson; items belonging to all four victims were reportedly found in his possession, and he was charged with multiple counts including murder and armed robbery. Prosecutors sought the death penalty, and Dawson faced trial on those charges.

If anyone knew LaDarius, where he stayed, or saw suspicious activity around College Park in mid-October 1998, please come forward with what you know.
