Deonta Wallace was 30 when he was shot and killed on the evening of July 12, 2018, on Verbena Street NW in Atlanta. Investigators believe the fatal shots were fired by a passenger in the vehicle Wallace was exiting. His family says they think he was robbed and murdered by people he considered friends.

Wallace left behind a son and a daughter he never met. His parents, Victor and Veronica Wallace, have continued to press for justice as the case grew cold. A suspect remains unidentified and at large, described only as a Black male with dreadlocks. Fear of reprisal and a persistent silence among potential witnesses have been cited as obstacles to the investigation.

The Atlanta Police Department and Wallace’s family have canvassed the neighborhood, distributed fliers and offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Does anyone who lived near Verbena Street NW in 2018 remember anything that could help the family and investigators?
