In the fifth episode of The First 48 Presents: Homicide Squad Atlanta season 1, titled "Hot Sun, Cold Blood," viewers are taken along on a gripping investigation as the squad works to solve the murder of 26-year-old Marquis Mahone, who was found shot to death on a front porch in broad daylight.

The episode begins with detectives Kevin Leonpacher and Quinn Greene arriving at the scene of the crime amidst a sweltering Georgia summer heatwave. Despite the open nature of the location where the victim's body was discovered, there are few leads to go on, and no eyewitnesses to the shooting.

As the detectives begin their investigation, they find that Mahone had been involved in the drug trade, with a history of arrests for drug possession and distribution. However, they also discover that he had recently made efforts to turn his life around, seeking employment with a local landscaping company and staying out of trouble.

To uncover any potential suspects, the detectives begin narrowing down a list of Mahone's associates and acquaintances, interviewing family members and friends to try to find any leads. They also canvass the neighborhood where the shooting took place, hoping to find any witnesses who may have been able to provide a description of the shooter.

As the investigation progresses, the detectives are led to a potential suspect, who they believe may have been connected to both the victim and the drug trade. While they work to gather more evidence and build a case against the suspect, the team is also coping with the effects of the high-pressure nature of homicide investigations, as well as the emotional toll of dealing with victims' families.

Throughout the course of the episode, viewers are given a behind-the-scenes look at the intricate workings of a homicide investigation, from forensic analysis to witness testimony and undercover operations. They also witness the intense dedication and tireless effort of the detectives working on Mahone's case, as they strive to bring justice to his murder and closure to his loved ones.

Ultimately, "Hot Sun, Cold Blood" provides an engrossing and emotionally charged portrayal of the hard work, tenacity, and heart-wrenching realities of police work on the front lines of homicide investigations. With its gritty realism and compelling storytelling, the episode is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats as the detectives work to solve the case and bring a killer to justice.
