Investigator Hugo Fernando Arango, 24, was killed while on duty in Doraville, Georgia, on May 13, 2000. That night he was working a call about people breaking into cars near the Eclipse nightclub on Buford Highway when a patron pointed out two suspicious men in the parking lot. While questioning them, a struggle broke out and Arango discovered a handgun. He was shot in the leg, then again when a round struck his badge, and was ultimately shot in the head.

One of the suspects left a wallet at the scene, and a massive manhunt involving more than 500 officers followed. Five days after the shooting, Bautista Toledo Ramirez was arrested and charged with capital murder; Ramirez later confessed. Investigator Arango had served six years with the Doraville Police Department and was survived by his parents, three sisters, and a girlfriend.

Did anyone who knew Investigator Arango or his work in Doraville have information about the night of May 13, 2000?
