Calvin Gholston, 53, was found fatally shot in a breezeway at the Spring Mill Village shopping center on Memorial Drive, in an unincorporated area of Decatur near Stone-Mountain, Georgia. His body was discovered on September 27, 2014; family members said he lived with schizophrenia and was known by the nickname Butterball. Investigators reported he had been shot multiple times and had no valuables on him, so robbery did not appear to be the primary motive. The shopping center was mostly empty and lacked working security cameras at the time, leaving few initial leads.

Authorities later linked 34-year-old Aeman Presley to Gholston’s killing after Presley was arrested for fare evasion at a MARTA station; investigators say Presley’s spree began with Gholston, who was sleeping in the breezeway. A DeKalb County grand jury indicted Presley in February 2015 on malice murder, felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with Gholston’s death, and Presley pleaded guilty to the murders of Gholston and three other victims, receiving multiple life sentences. Gholston’s family described him as harmless and giving, and they expressed deep pain and a desire for answers; Presley’s statement in court that he thought he was helping Gholston further angered them.

If anyone knew Calvin, saw him around Memorial Drive in 2014, or has information about that night, please share what is known.
