WSB-TV reports the incident took place on December 12, 2022, when 26-year-old Travon Dunnaville was fatally shot by Dericole Daniels after accidentally getting in Daniels’ car at a Shell Gas Station on Old National Highway in Atlanta.
Earlier this week, Daniels, who was charged with Misdemeanor Voluntary Manslaughter, was released on a $150,000 bond.
Dunnaville’s mother says her son had his head down and was texting, which resulted in him not realizing he was opening the door to Daniels’ car rather than his own. Daniels shot Dunnaville four times.
Travon’s mother told the news station, “He was at the wrong car. He saw my son, coming towards him. He was parked like this. So you see him coming. He could have locked his doors, or he could have said may I help you or something? He did nothing but shoot. Just because people make mistakes and open up somebody’s door, they don’t have to shoot them.”
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office released the below statement regarding Travon’s death.
“Our office has an ongoing investigation regarding the matter,” the statement read. “If a decision is made to seek a felony indictment, this office will prosecute it in Superior Court. If the decision is made to leave it as a misdemeanor as the police cited it, it will be prosecuted in state court by the Solicitor’s Office.”
