On a Wednesday afternoon in September 2023, 46-year-old Darius Devon Dugger of Lawrenceville, Georgia, was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Mall Corners Shopping Center on Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth. Dugger was sitting in his blue Chevrolet pickup truck with his fiancée and their 4-year-old son after lunch when he noticed they were being followed; he pulled into the shopping center lot to check. A man later identified as Neil Patrick Frasdilla pulled a rented gray Tesla alongside the truck and opened fire. Dugger was struck and died at the scene; his fiancée and child were not physically harmed.

A witness called 911 and described the suspect vehicle, and police used that tip and surveillance technology to locate and arrest Frasdilla within about 45 minutes near Dunwoody Club Drive. Investigators say the shooting was motivated by revenge: roughly a year earlier Dugger had confronted Frasdilla after Frasdilla’s then-girlfriend reported alleged abuse, and Frasdilla apparently held a grudge. The rental Tesla’s built-in camera reportedly recorded Frasdilla with the weapon, which was recovered and matched to the fatal bullet.

Did anyone in the Duluth area see the gray rented Tesla or notice anything unusual in the Mall Corners lot that afternoon?
