Malachi Dennis, 20, was shot and killed and found deceased at an apartment complex in Stone Mountain, Georgia, on April 26, 2017. The shooting reportedly occurred shortly before 7:30 p.m., while it was still daylight, at a complex off Hariston Road. Dennis had spent time with his father earlier that day and was likely heading to the bus stop in front of the complex when the fatal encounter occurred.

Police confirmed Dennis’s wallet was not taken. Detectives say the investigation has been hampered by a lack of leads: no witnesses have been identified, no motive has been established, and no suspects or arrests have been announced. His mother described him as a happy-go-lucky kid who wanted to study sports medicine in college and enjoyed time with loved ones.

Anyone with information about what happened that evening is asked to come forward.
