Donovan Corey Parks was 24 and working as a corrections officer when he was killed in Milledgeville, Georgia, in March 1996. After buying cat food at a Walmart, he agreed to give two men, Robert Earl Butts Jr. and Marion Wilson Jr., a ride. Butts rode front, Wilson in back. Shortly after leaving the parking lot, Parks was forced at gunpoint to drive to a nearby residential street, ordered out of the car, and shot once in the back of the head with a sawed-off shotgun. His body was left face down in the street and the perpetrators fled in his vehicle, which was later found abandoned and set on fire.

Butts and Wilson were arrested four days after the murder. Each accused the other of firing the fatal shot; investigators recovered a sawed-off shotgun at Wilson’s residence. Both men were tried and convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Does anyone have memories of Parks or details about that night that could add to the record?
