October 18, 1998
Location: Atlanta,GA
Victim(s): Philip Dover 31, Ronald Gutkowski 51, Gerrold Aaron Shropshire 50
Attacker(s): Timothy Carl Dawson
Description: Dawson barged into a hotel room, pulled a gun, and had all 3 lie down on the ground. All 3 were then shot in the head. All 3 left behind families with children.
District Attorney Paul Howard said Dawson's deeds were the kind for which the death penalty was created. Dawson was convicted of the execution-style slayings of three tourists at the Hilton on Oct. 18, 1998, and of another man a few days earlier at a College Park inn. He was also suspected of killing a fifth man in DeKalb County, and two women testified that he had brutally raped them.
