On July 29, 1999, 52-year-old Dean Mohammed Delawalla was shot and killed in a workplace massacre in the Buckhead district of Atlanta, Georgia. Delawalla, a man of Indian descent and a member of the Ismaili Muslim community, was at the All-Tech Investment Group when a gunman, Mark Orrin Barton, entered and opened fire. Barton had already killed four people earlier that day at another trading firm, Momentum Securities.

Investigators later found Barton’s wife and two children dead at his home; those killings had occurred in the days before the public shootings. Barton died by suicide before he could be arrested, so there was no trial. Delawalla is remembered as someone who had come to America seeking a better life; his death was part of a wider spree that devastated several families and the Buckhead business community.

If anyone knew Dean Delawalla or has information about his life or the events of that day, please share what you can.
