MARIETTA — A cocaine-fueled birthday party, terrifying war stories and a vulgar text message led to the beating death of former Marine Zach Gamble, 34, of Acworth, on March 25, prosecutors said Friday.

Dawes said that two times during the night of the incident, Secrest, Gamble and Batchelor left the apartment to go buy cocaine in Secrest’s fiancee’s car.
