Johnny Howard was 27 when he was found shot to death on June 1, 1999, in Chosewood Park at 400 Nolan Street in Atlanta. Police located him around 10 p.m., and official listings describe the death tersely—time, place, and gunfire—while the events of the evening remain largely unexplained.

The Atlanta Police Department continues to list the case as a cold homicide. Available memorial-style records and later reporting that cited unsolved Atlanta killings repeat the same basic outline but do not fill in who Howard was with that night, why he was in the park, or what sequence of events led to the shooting.

Does anyone have information about Howard’s movements that night or about witnesses who might not have been publicly identified?
