On the evening of March 7, 2025, Emile Fields-Marshall, 26, was shot in the chest during a confrontation at the auto body shop where he worked in the 6000 block of Covington Highway in DeKalb County, Georgia. Family accounts say the dispute began when a group brought a catalytic converter for repair; tension rose after Fields-Marshall could not remove the part and the group reportedly accused him of trying to cheat them. The assailants were described as armed and wearing ski masks. His father drove him to a nearby hospital but Fields-Marshall died of his injuries. He left behind a 17-month-old son, and relatives remember him for his big smile and personality.

Police investigated the shooting as a possible attempted robbery and identified four suspects. Antonio White and Ramiya Pinkston were arrested and charged with malice murder; after surveillance footage was released, 23-year-old Harrison Watson and 17-year-old Kamari Britton surrendered. All four have been charged with murder and are being held in the DeKalb County Jail.

Did anyone in the area see activity around the shop that evening or have information about the group that confronted Emile?
