On the night of February 17, 2023, Dustin Scott Parrott, 32, of Tyrone, was shot and killed on Cliff Circle in Newnan, Georgia. Police were called about 10:55 p.m.; first responders found Parrott with a gunshot wound to the chest and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Friends and family described him as caring and giving, with a ready smile and laughter.

Investigators say the shooting followed a botched drug sale: Parrott and two other men had gone to Newnan to sell marijuana when an armed person approached intending to rob them. A struggle occurred over a firearm Parrott carried, and he was shot when he refused to relinquish the weapon. The Newnan Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation worked the case, and multiple arrests followed, including juveniles and young adults.

One of the suspects, Derrious Bernard Daniel, was later convicted of felony murder, armed robbery, and aggravated assault and received life without parole. Does anyone have information about Parrott’s activities that night or the people involved that could shed light on what happened?
