In the late afternoon of a Wednesday in downtown Atlanta, 52-year-old Horace Obie Meadows was found injured on Forsyth Street just south of Trinity Avenue after a call came in shortly before 4 p.m. Responding officers learned he had sustained a wound and he was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

Investigators determined the fatal wound was caused by a pellet gun rather than a conventional firearm. Police say an unknown assailant shot Meadows; motive and circumstances around the shooting remained unclear. The location was just blocks from Atlanta City Hall.

Crime Stoppers circulated a flyer and police released photos of Meadows, offering up to a $2,000 reward for information. No arrests had been announced and the case remained open. Has anyone seen or heard anything that could help identify who shot Horace Meadows?
