Emmanuel Slaton was 27 when he was fatally shot in northwest Atlanta in the early hours of Saturday, April 25, 2015. The double shooting occurred about 12:30 a.m. in the 841 North Avenue area of the English Avenue neighborhood and also claimed the life of 55-year-old Lester Parham. Responding officers found both men dead of gunshot wounds; at least one of the men lived in the home where the shooting happened.

Initial reports said a verbal altercation may have escalated into gunfire, and investigators were trying to establish the sequence of events and whether a third party was involved or if the two men shot one another. Slaton was described as a Black male and was remembered in an obituary as a loving father, brother, and son who was kind and willing to help others. Authorities appealed to witnesses for information after the shooting.

No arrests or publicly documented identification of a suspect have been reported in the years following the incident. Does anyone have information about that night on North Avenue or knew Emmanuel Slaton?
