Maurice Stone Davis, 56, was a longtime Atlanta business owner and community fixture. He ran JMMR Tires on Jonesboro Road and was known for his generosity, a love of muscle cars and drag racing, and the race name Stone Cold. Friends say he was always smiling and quick to help others, and the community’s response after his death reflected that regard.

On the afternoon of February 27, 2025, Davis was shot and killed at his shop by a disgruntled employee identified as 46-year-old Roger T. Hunter. Reports say Davis had given Hunter part-time work. Maurice’s son, who was present, returned fire; Hunter was wounded and died en route to the hospital. The son was questioned by police and later released after authorities determined his actions were in self-defense.

The shop became an informal memorial as neighbors gathered to pay respects. If anyone knew Maurice, his business, or was at the shop that day, can you share what you remember?
