Clarence Knox, an 80-year-old Atlanta resident and long‑time transmission mechanic, was killed in a drive‑by shooting at his Meadow Park Drive SW home on the night of Thursday, June 25, 2020. Police responding to a welfare check around 4 a.m. the next morning found both the house and a car outside riddled with bullet holes and Mr. Knox fatally wounded. Investigators recovered at least 20 shell casings at the scene. Two weeks earlier the same house had been struck by three bullets; family members say Mr. Knox had told them he would have been killed if he’d been on the couch during that earlier shooting.

Family and police have said they believe Mr. Knox was not the intended target and that the attack may have been meant as a message to a younger relative who had been living with him but had not been at the house for about a month before the fatal shooting. No arrests have been reported and the identity of the shooter or shooters remains publicly unknown.

Did anyone in the Meadow Park Drive area see or hear anything that night, or have information about the earlier shooting?
