In spring 2015, 20-year-old Markeal Johnson was found shot to death in the stairwell of the Deerfield Garden Apartment Complex on Campbellton Road in southwest Atlanta. Police discovered him after responding to a call; he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and several shell casings were recovered, indicating numerous shots had been fired. Investigators believed Johnson tried to flee his assailant before collapsing in the stairwell.

In the immediate aftermath there were no suspects and no known motive. Family members held a candlelight vigil in the same stairwell and publicly appealed for information; his mother, Yolanda, said he didn’t deserve to die, and his cousin Marzetta Edmonson urged anyone who might have seen or heard something to come forward. There have been no subsequent reports of arrests, and the case appears to remain unsolved.

Did anyone living at Deerfield Garden Apartments in spring 2015 see or hear anything that could help bring answers?
