A confrontation that began inside a Kroger at 3479 Memorial Drive in Decatur escalated into a deadly parking-lot shooting on August 7, 2018. Surveillance video recorded an argument between 25-year-old Jeremiah Flemister and 27-year-old Dra James that moved from inside the store to the lot. Witnesses said Flemister was pistol-whipped, then dared James to shoot him; James allegedly shot Flemister in the chest. Flemister stumbled into a nearby nail salon for help and was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

Two days later, on August 9, 2018, members of the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit with a K-9 and SWAT located and arrested Dra James at a Lithonia residence without incident. He was transported to the DeKalb County Jail and charged with felony murder.

Are there readers who remember the Kroger parking lot that afternoon or who saw anything that could shed more light on what led up to the shooting?
