Philip Anthony Mock, 48, was shot to death in the early hours of October 27, 2023, on Truman Parkway in Savannah, Georgia. Police found Mock lying in the roadway between Henry and Wheaton Streets at about 12:20 a.m.; he died from a gunshot wound. A second victim, 19-year-old Shaliyah Collins, was found off the road and also had been shot to death. Family accounts say Collins had been picked up from work shortly after 11:00 p.m. by someone she knew and was shot a short time later. Reports indicate Mock, a lifelong Savannah resident and an auto technician, may have been attempting to intervene to help Collins when he was killed.

Authorities arrested 46-year-old Derek Maurice Johnson in St. Petersburg, Florida, on October 29, 2023, and he was charged with two counts of homicide; he was booked into the Chatham County Jail on November 4, 2023. Motive has not been publicly detailed, and court actions were pending as of early 2024.

Did anyone in the Savannah area see either victim that night or have information about who picked up Collins after work?
