On November 18, 2017, around 1:30 a.m. in southwest Atlanta, 45-year-old Olden Cooper III was found shot to death next to a dumpster at an apartment complex at 1090 Hollywood Road. Cooper, an African American man known as Wheels who used a wheelchair after becoming paralyzed in 2000, was discovered slumped in his wheelchair with a lighter in his hand and a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

Witnesses told investigators an unknown man in a black coat, black skullcap, and light-colored baggy pants fired at least seven shots; one struck Cooper and the gunman also fired at three witnesses who arrived but were not hit. The Atlanta Police Department homicide unit, led by Detective Arthur Fernhorn, canvassed the area and made public appeals, but no significant leads or arrests have been reported and the motive remains unknown. Cooper’s brother, Alfonso Bussie, described him as a kind-hearted father and brother.

Does anyone in the area remember seeing a man matching that description near 1090 Hollywood Road on the night of November 18, 2017, or have other information that could help investigators?
