On the evening of July 25, 2009, 38-year-old Forrest was shot several times in the back on a street just southwest of downtown. Keyes said there were no suspects. Fulton County medical examiner Michele Stauffenberg confirmed the case was a homicide and that the autopsy showed Forrest died from “multiple gunshot wounds involving the torso and thigh.”Charles Watson, the boxer’s manager, said police and witnesses told him that Forrest had stopped at a gas station to put air in his car tire when a man approached asking for money.Vernon had his wallet out and the guy snatched his wallet and started running. Vernon pursued after him. The guy turned the corner and Vernon didn’t see him. He turned around to go back to the car. That’s when he started firing. Forrest’s 11-year-old godson was with him, but had gone into the convenience store and did not witness the shooting.
