2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Atlanta area residents [Damian] Henderson, [Lataj] Ross and [appellant] drove to Macon, ultimately arriving at a duplex on San Juan Avenue. [Kenyata] Bluford was outside the duplex talking on a cell phone when Henderson and Barge approached with guns drawn and ordered him inside at gunpoint; Ross, who was also armed, followed. The three gunmen told Bluford and the other occupants of the two-room duplex, namely, [Rayshawn] Lucas, [Anthony] Calhoun and [Tramane] Spencer, to empty their pockets. These four men were then ordered into one room and told to remove their clothes and get on the floor. Ross hit Lucas over the head with his gun. There was a knock at the door; the gunmen let [Steven] Bass inside and demanded money from him. Bass, who worked as a pizza deliveryman and was armed, fired his gun. In the ensuing exchange of gunfire, both Ross and Bass were shot; Bass’s wounds were fatal. The gunmen fled and the surviving victims went to a neighboring house to call police.”
