Clayton Smith, 22, was killed on September 17, 2015, in the parking lot of a Hardee’s on Senoia Road in Fairburn after a marijuana sale turned into a robbery and then an exchange of gunfire. Smith had returned to Georgia after buying a large amount of marijuana in California. He met Mountavius Holt earlier that day, provided a sample, and arranged to meet that evening; Smith drove to the Hardee’s with a friend, Callie McNew, and was carrying a handgun.

Court records and reports describe Mountavius Holt recruiting others to rob Smith because he lacked a gun. Quintavius Hawkins produced a handgun during the meeting; shots were exchanged and Smith was struck in the chest, dying at the scene beside his truck. Hawkins was wounded as well. Witness testimony, DNA from blood-stained items and a cap, and recovery of a Jimenez Arms 9mm handgun tied the group to the scene. Four men — Hawkins, Mountavius Holt, Rontavius Holt, and Labrinzo Matthews — were arrested quickly. Hawkins was later tried, convicted of felony murder and related counts, and sentenced to life plus five years; other members of the group later testified against him under plea deals.

Does anyone have information about Smith’s movements that evening or saw the group arriving at the Hardee’s?
