Curtis Cockrell, 56, was found dead under the I-20 overpass at Windsor Street in Atlanta on June 12, 2020. Investigators believe he may have been killed a day earlier, on June 11. The cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds, and his body was located in a corner of the bridge where people experiencing homelessness often shelter.

Cockrell’s killing was the second of three similar fatal shootings of unhoused people in Atlanta within two weeks — Timothy Terrill Smith was found on June 1 and Maxine McDonald on June 15. Atlanta police released surveillance images of a person of interest described as a Black male about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall seen near all three scenes and considered armed and dangerous. On June 19, 2020, police arrested 29-year-old David Chris Arnold Lee in Gwinnett County and charged him with three counts of murder and related weapons offenses in connection with these deaths. The motive for the killings has not been described.

Did anyone who knew Curtis or who spent time under the I-20 overpass in June 2020 see anything that could help investigators?
