Eric D. Crane, 57, was fatally shot on March 3, 2023, on the southbound lanes of Riverdale Road near Norman Drive in College Park, Georgia. He was shot multiple times, taken to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead a short time later. Eyewitnesses described a male suspect who opened fire and then fled the scene in a vehicle.

Investigators said Crane and the shooter had no prior connection and that the motive remained unknown. Within days authorities identified 21-year-old Devantes Watson as the primary suspect; he was taken into custody and charged with malice murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime. At the time of that arrest Watson was already being held in the Fulton County Jail on unrelated charges. Hours after the shooting he was also accused of assaulting members of his own family.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the events on Riverdale Road that afternoon, please come forward.
