Troris Murphy, 40, was fatally shot on January 20, 2018, at the Riverwood Townhouses on Flint River Road in Jonesboro, Clayton County. He had gone there to spend time with his children when an altercation with the children’s mother reportedly turned physical. During that dispute, the woman’s live-in boyfriend, Ernest Watson, intervened and shot Murphy multiple times.

Officers found Murphy in the yard around 3:45 p.m.; he was taken to Atlanta Medical Center and later pronounced dead. Watson was located at a nearby gas station and arrested; he was charged with felony murder, cruelty to children, and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Murphy was born December 6, 1977, in Frankfurt, Germany, and is survived by a son and a daughter.

Does anyone have information about that day at Riverwood Townhouses or knew Murphy and his family?
