On June 29, 2017, 73-year-old Vietnam veteran Otha Orr went to an apartment on Sells Avenue in Atlanta to help his niece, Yvonne Wesley, collect her belongings after she decided to end a relationship. Wesley’s ex-boyfriend, Donald Woods, allowed her in but then confronted Orr and his brother, Edmund Orr. Woods pushed Otha, retrieved a 9mm handgun and pistol-whipped Edmund multiple times. Otha tried to disarm Woods; during the struggle Woods reportedly warned he would not let her go and then shot Otha four times.

Otha died at the scene from gunshot wounds to his head and body. Woods chased Edmund, firing at him twice, then fled in a Ford Explorer. Hours later Woods turned himself in. Surveillance footage from a nearby complex captured the events leading up to the shooting, and cellphone records showed Woods sent Wesley a text minutes after the killing.

Does anyone have information about the incident or knew Otha, Yvonne, or the people involved?
