Anthony Chalmers was 27 when he was shot and killed inside his Atlanta apartment on the night of January 22, 2016. Police were called to the 300 block of Lanier Street NW at about 10:20 p.m. and found Chalmers on his kitchen floor with multiple gunshot wounds; two other men, brothers Jonathan and Baratta Gray, were also shot and critically wounded but survived.

Investigators say the killers were known to Chalmers. Longtime acquaintances Kahlieff Adams, 21, and Thomas Cothran, 31, were let into the apartment with two other unidentified individuals. The assailants took marijuana and thousands of dollars from Chalmers before fleeing. Fourteen shell casings from four different firearms were recovered.

Cothran was identified by the survivors and arrested April 1, 2016, at a Decatur hotel, where three pistols were found in the room; authorities say he called Adams after the arrest and wrote an intimidating letter to survivor Baratta Gray. Adams was later taken into custody. In April 2019 a Fulton County jury found both Adams and Cothran guilty for their roles in Chalmers’ murder and they were sentenced to life without parole plus additional years.

Does anyone have information about the two unidentified people who were with Adams and Cothran that night?
