Lewayne Terrell was found dead Wednesday around noon in the parking lot of the Publix at the Emory Commons shopping center, off North Decatur Road. That's about a mile from Emory University.

His friends openly mourned Terrell's death, saying he was a father and a hard worker, and he will be missed. 

“When you met him you couldn’t help but to love him because he was one of those kind of people who sits in your soul,” Lee Williams said on Thursday. 

She worked with Terrell at Verizon for years and was shocked to hear about the last moments of his life. Williams said he was recently working as a rapper. 

 “(His) artist name was Teflon Terrell and he was trying to build himself up," Williams said. "But at the end of the day, he was just trying to be there for his family and he was just solid."
