On the night of January 26, 2014, 35-year-old Randy Menefee was fatally shot during a violent home invasion at the Allen Hill apartment complex off Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in northwest Atlanta. The attack happened about 11:25 p.m. when a woman answered a knock; four masked men forced their way in, demanded money, robbed Menefee and shot him in the chest and arm in front of his 11-year-old daughter. The assailants fled with about $136. Atlanta police, initially responding to a weapons dispute call, found Menefee deceased inside the apartment.

Investigators identified and obtained arrest warrants for two suspects, 27-year-old Demario Franklin and 28-year-old Jamal Chandler, within two days; a third suspect, Andreas Perkins, was arrested on February 11, 2014. All three had prior felony convictions. In March 2017, Jamal Chandler, then 30, and Andreas Perkins, then 20, were convicted by a Fulton County jury of murder, felony murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and cruelty to children and sentenced to life plus 60 years. Chandler and Perkins had claimed they ran into the apartment after hearing gunshots, but scene evidence and an eyewitness account of the two putting on masks before entering contradicted that.

The status of the case against Demario Franklin and the identity of the fourth masked man were not detailed. If anyone knew Randy, his movements that night, or has information about the remaining suspect, please share what is known.
