Michael Gregory Musick was 24 when he was killed in Atlanta on April 24, 1990. His death was ruled a homicide after a confrontation at a local nightclub escalated from a verbal argument to a physical fight in which he sustained fatal injuries.

Investigators identified several suspects who frequented the club and had prior violent behavior, but conflicting witness statements and a lack of direct evidence prevented charges. Michael’s family pursued a wrongful death suit against the nightclub, alleging inadequate security; a jury ultimately found the club not liable.

The criminal investigation remained open for years but produced no arrests and eventually went cold, and no one has been held accountable for Michael’s death. Does anyone who was in Atlanta nightlife at that time or who knew Michael have information that could help reopen the case?
