In the early morning of July 25, 2024, a dispute at a Chevron on Morosgo Drive in Atlanta turned deadly when 46-year-old Daylon Omanique Rainwater was shot around 2:15 a.m. Officers who responded found Rainwater unresponsive with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. He is described as a beloved father, brother, son and friend who left behind a large family, including twelve children.

Investigators say the confrontation involved a security guard working at the gas station and escalated into gunfire that struck Rainwater multiple times. The next day, 34-year-old Antonio Dean was arrested and booked in Fulton County on charges including murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; he was held without bond. Family and friends later organized a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses, and a memorial service was held in Atlanta on August 9, 2024.

If anyone has information about the events at the Chevron that morning or knew Daylon, please share what you know.
