James McDaniel, 81, was fatally shot in a Walmart parking lot in Gainesville, Georgia, last week.
McDaniel, a beloved Vietnam War veteran and former postal worker, was leaving Walmart in his mobility scooter when he got caught in the crossfire as a group of people began shooting at each other.
A week after the fatal shooting, Erron Lamar Dorsey, 17, and Kamari Nehemiah Tilmuth, 18, were taken into custody and charged with felony murder.
“They’re shooting across a busy parking lot with hundreds of vehicles, people everywhere at each other,” Gainesville Police Capt. Kevin Holbrook said, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. “And unfortunately, this gentleman just gets shot and killed just trying to live his everyday life.”
McDaniel leaves behind a wife and four children. He also had grandchildren and great grandchildren.
James McDaniel’s son said everyone referred to his father as “Senior Chief.”

Over a week after an 81-year-old man was shot and killed while leaving a Gainesville Walmart, authorities say they’ve made a new arrest in the case.
The Gainesville Police Department said that 17-year-old Erron Lamar Dorsey surrendered to officers in East Point on Friday morning.
Dorsey was wanted for felony murder, aggravated assault, and firearm charges in the killing of 81-year-old James Edward McDaniel on Oct. 14.
Investigators said two groups had a confrontation inside the store that night that continued into the parking lot. Dorsey was one of two suspects who police claimed fired gunshots during the confrontation.
A few days later, a Hall County SWAT team arrested 18-year-old Kamari Nehemiah Tilmuth while carrying out a search warrant.
Tilmuth was also charged with felony murder, four counts of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
