In the early morning hours of March 14, 2015, Joseph Hruska, a 33-year-old musician and artist, was fatally shot in the Little Five Points neighborhood of Atlanta. He and a friend, Chaitanyalila ’Shay’ Kelsey, 32, were leaving The Star Community Bar after watching punk rock cover bands and were found shot to death in a parking lot behind The Vortex Bar and Grill, their bodies about 30 feet apart. The double homicide deeply affected the local arts and music community; friends described Hruska as kind, generous and an integral figure in the scene.

A celebration of life was held on March 21, 2015, and neighbors organized a fundraiser to help with funeral costs for both victims. Investigators linked the killings to an armed robbery about a mile away on North Highland Avenue that occurred around the same time; a stolen wallet recovered by a man walking his dog tied suspects from the robbery to the area. In June 2015, police announced arrests of four people connected to the case, including 17-year-old Charlie Baldwin, 25-year-old Thomas Dosier, 25-year-old Jacques Allen and an unnamed 14-year-old.

Does anyone have information about Hruska, where he spent time in Little Five Points, or the night of March 14, 2015?
