Until then, Georgia.

Isaac Dawkins was driving home from classes at Floyd College on U.S. Route 27 when he was fatally shot.

0:39.3

His white truck was seen on the opposite side of the road, having crashed into a thicket.

planning to ambush Isaac but saw him driving the opposite direction, did a U-turn, and followed him.

1:51.7

They argued that maybe he followed him after running into him at a gas station. They knew it would
