Rubin Pokey F. Bridges, 59, was found shot to death inside his vehicle at the Donnelly Courts Apartments on Donnelly Avenue in Atlanta in the early morning hours of April 15, 2022. Police responding to a call about a car crash discovered Bridges with fatal gunshot wounds and pronounced him dead at the scene; investigators believe the shots were fired from inside the car.

Known by the nickname Pokey, given by his great-grandmother, Bridges was married and a grandfather to twin granddaughters. The Atlanta Police Department’s homicide unit released his photo and offered a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest. Family members said they were devastated and described him as someone who loved fashion and helped others.

An arrest was reported later, but the investigation remained described as ongoing through mid-2022 and early 2023 with no further public details about the suspect or case progression. If anyone knew Rubin Bridges or has information about what happened that night, please come forward to investigators.
