Anthony Brooks, 50, was shot and killed one November evening in 2016 at a Shell gas station on Campbellton Road in southwest Atlanta. A well-known, helpful presence in his neighborhood, Brooks confronted two teenage brothers he believed were responsible for recent vehicle break-ins and thefts. The confrontation turned violent after he threatened to call police; one brother pushed Brooks and a gun was produced. Brooks was shot multiple times as he tried to crawl back toward the gas station store and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died.

The two brothers, aged 16 and 15, fled the scene in a stolen red Dodge Charger. Their mother later arranged for them to surrender to police at their church. The teens had prior contacts with law enforcement and were charged with murder. If anyone remembers the Shell station that night or saw a red Dodge Charger in the area, please share what was seen.
