Rodrell Maurice Dobson, 38, of Woodstock, Georgia, was shot and killed during a visit to pick up a family member at a home on Roseberry Lane in Grayson on June 18, 2023. He was met outside by 19-year-old Christian Houston; after a brief, heated argument Houston allegedly shot Dobson in the driveway. A neighbor’s security camera recorded one gunshot and a scream. A nearby nurse found Dobson face down on the sidewalk without a pulse and performed CPR until police arrived, but Dobson succumbed at the scene.

After the shooting Houston reportedly barricaded himself inside the residence, prompting a large police response including the Gwinnett County SWAT team; he had already left by the time officers entered. Gwinnett County police identified Houston as the suspect and sought him on warrants for felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of certain crimes, along with an outstanding simple battery warrant from the previous month. On June 21, 2023, Houston was taken into custody and booked on multiple charges including murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, battery, and second-degree criminal damage to property. Police described the incident as domestic in nature.

Did anyone in the Grayson area see Dobson or the events on Roseberry Lane that day or have information about the argument that preceded the shooting?
