In the early hours of April 24, 2016, 24-year-old Reginald Coicou was found fatally shot inside a Pontiac Bonneville parked near a Burger King on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway in Atlanta. Coicou, who worked as a bouncer at the nearby Blue Flame Lounge and pursued bodybuilding, had been shot six times — five wounds to the torso and one to the head. A .45 caliber revolver was found in his possession at the scene.

The incident occurred alongside the shooting of 22-year-old Quincy Wytche, who was found with gunshot wounds in an adjacent parking lot and later died after being taken to hospital. Investigators early on considered a robbery motive because Coicou was known to carry significant cash from his work. A single flip-flop linked by witnesses to a fleeing man and surveillance footage from the Burger King and a nearby gas station provided leads.

Authorities later identified Nicholas Benton as the primary suspect and concluded the killings stemmed from a robbery staged as a drug deal; Wytche was described as an alleged accomplice who was accidentally shot during the crime. Another man, driver Carlton Redding, fled on foot and was captured on Interstate 285. Does anyone have information about Coicou’s movements that night or remember seeing the vehicle near Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway?
