In the light of a summer afternoon, tragedy struck at a DeKalb County gas station on July 12, 2023, forever altering the lives of those connected to Tori Dundas. The 32-year-old man was shot and killed in broad daylight at a BP gas station located at the intersection of Browns Mill Road and Klondike Road in Lithonia, Georgia. The incident unfolded around 1:30 p.m., a time when the station was bustling with activity.
According to police reports, an argument preceded the fatal shooting.
Dundas was involved in a dispute with another individual who then shot him and fled the scene. Despite the busy surroundings, which included several businesses like a liquor store, a barbershop, and restaurants, the violence erupted, leaving Dundas fatally wounded. The brazen nature of the crime in such a public space was a shock to the community.
The investigation into the death of Tori Dundas led authorities to a suspect a couple of months later. On September 22, 2023, the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Unit, with assistance from U.S. Marshals, arrested 24-year-old Antjuan Harrison. Harrison, a resident of Lithonia, was taken into custody on Hillandale Drive.
Harrison was charged with Malice Murder in connection with Dundas's death. He was booked into the DeKalb County Jail, where he is being held without bond. While an arrest has been made, authorities have not publicly disclosed a motive for the shooting. The case highlighted concerns about safety in the area and prompted local leaders to discuss the importance of security measures, such as mandatory surveillance cameras at gas stations.
