Ronald Bernard Barner, 58, was shot to death while taking a morning walk in his southwest Atlanta neighborhood on the early morning of Saturday, March 13, 2021. Barner, who used a cane for long-term back problems and had recently moved to the area to be closer to family, was found outside a home under construction near the 3000 block of Valeland Avenue; he had been shot several times.

Investigators called the incident an apparent attempted robbery. Barner’s cellphone and bank card were in his pocket, but family members said he usually carried cash and only a dollar and some change were found. Surveillance footage released by police showed two men following him just after sunrise; one was described wearing white and black sneakers, the other in gray pants and a black hoodie. They were believed to have been in a silver Nissan Sentra, model years 2014–2017. A cash reward was offered for information. No arrests have been publicly announced.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see those men or the silver Sentra that morning, or have additional surveillance that could help identify them?
