A dispute over an auto part at an O'Reilly Auto Parts on Highway 85 in Riverdale, Georgia, turned deadly on a Thursday afternoon when 25-year-old Willie Heath III was shot and later died of his injuries. The confrontation began inside the store and escalated into a physical fight after witnesses say Heath threatened and then punched another man, 26-year-old Raheem Titre, who was making a delivery from a different O'Reilly’s location.

According to police, Titre drew a handgun, shot Heath and fired additional rounds as Heath tried to flee. First responders found Heath at the scene, provided first aid and transported him to a hospital where he succumbed to his wounds. Titre initially fled but returned and was taken into custody by the Clayton County Police Department. He was booked on malice murder, aggravated assault, criminal damage to property, possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime and reckless conduct and held without bond. The family expressed profound grief and called for accountability.

If anyone witnessed the shooting at the Highway 85 store or has information about the sequence of events inside and outside the store, please come forward.
