Earl English was 28 when he was found dead inside his rented home on Northstrand Drive in Decatur, Georgia, on Tuesday, May 16, 2017. Friends and family reported him missing after he failed to show for work at a Midtown Atlanta leasing agency and stopped answering calls. Officers who entered the locked house found English with a gunshot wound and a plastic bag placed over his head; the television was on and kitchen cupboards and belongings were scattered, suggesting a disturbance.

English’s two cars, a 2011 Dodge Charger and a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro, remained in the driveway and appeared untouched. Family thought robbery might have been the motive, but police did not confirm one and said months later they had no leads. The last person he was reportedly seen with was a man named Antwaun at a Midtown gym the day before his body was discovered.

Anyone who knew Earl, saw him in Decatur or Midtown around May 15–16, 2017, or who has information on Antwaun is asked to come forward.
