A 24-year-old DeKalb County man was charged with murder after shooting a man following an argument at a Decatur business, according to police.
Officers responded to the 2600 block of East College Avenue just before 2 p.m. Wednesday, Decatur police spokeswoman Capt. Jennifer Ross said. At the scene, officers found a man who had been shot. Timothy “Scott” Wilson, 46, of Hiram, was taken to a hospital but did not survive, according to police.
According to the initial investigation, Wilson and Jadir Woods got into an argument in the driveway of the business. Woods then left the business and Wilson went inside. But Woods returned and shot Wilson before leaving the area in a black car, police said.
Investigators searched the area and later arrested Woods on a malice murder charge. He was being held without bond Thursday at the DeKalb jail. The GBI, DeKalb police department and Georgia State Patrol assisted with the investigation.
The funeral for Wilson, who was engaged to be married, is planned for Sunday at Bellamy Funeral Home in Hiram, according to his online obituary.
“Scott was always willing to help and known as a big-hearted fellow,” the obituary states. “He was an avid UGA Bulldog fan, NASCAR fan, and loved the custom truck scene.”
In addition to his fiancée, Wilson is survived by two brothers, two sisters and several nieces and nephews, his obituary states. A GoFundMe page was created to assist the family.
