On the evening of January 10, 2023, 18-year-old Akhir Muhammad stopped with a friend at a Shell on Snapfinger Woods Drive in Decatur, Georgia. Muhammad, a Miller Grove High School graduate who was training to become an electrician, was confronted in the parking lot by two men, identified in reporting as 20-year-old Quavion Hale and 18-year-old Stantavis Reese. The men demanded Muhammad’s legally carried firearm, then opened fire, striking him multiple times in the back. First responders located Muhammad deceased in the parking lot.

Surveillance video from inside the convenience store captured Hale and Reese arriving and moving through the store before the shooting. Investigators linked a distinctive backpack and shoes shown on the footage to Hale through photos on his social media, which helped identify him. Hale was arrested March 28, 2023, and Reese was arrested December 8, 2023.
