Man found guilty in love-triangle murder

New body camera video has been released in the deadly shooting of a Peachtree City CVS manager shot and killed for his involvement in a love triangle. Marlon C. Jones was found guilty of the 2021 murder.

After a man allegedly murdered the store manager of a Peachtree City CVS, police exclusively released video to FOX 5 Atlanta showing the arrest of a suspect in the case.

Fayette County District Attorney Marie Broder called it a crime that shocked the community. 

Officials accused Marlon Jones of gunning down the store manager at the front door as he arrived at work on May 4, 2022. FOX 5 provided exclusive coverage on Good Day Atlanta that morning.

A shooting outside a Peachtree City CVS Pharmacy has left one person dead and a suspect in police custody, officials say.

Newly released body camera footage now shows what Peachtree City police saw when they arrived at the scene.

"It was an execution. What we are talking about is the victim is arriving at his workplace where someone should feel safe. The defendant laid in wait for him. And when he arrived at work, the defendant executed him in the very place where he was coming to work to make a living for his family," Broder said.

The video shows police had already ordered Marlon Jones to the ground outside the CVS. The video also shows him close to the body of Donnell Hicks.

An eyewitness told police Jones shot Hicks and then stood over him and emptied the gun.

In Jones’ Fayette County Court murder trial which has already ended, DA Broder said he denied firing the shots and said Hicks grabbed the gun from him and shot himself.

"Despite the victim being shot multiple times and despite eyewitness testimony," Broder said.

Broder said the prosecution team played the 911 audio call in which he confessed to the crime because his wife was having an affair with Hicks.
