On April 20, 1985, 20-year-old Keith Manning was shot and killed after a quarrel between drivers in Midtown Atlanta. The dispute began as a traffic altercation and escalated to deadly gunfire that ended Manning’s life.

Early in the investigation police identified a cab driver as the primary suspect and sought to locate him. Eyewitness accounts and initial evidence focused attention on that taxi driver, and a reward was offered for information leading to an arrest. Despite those efforts, the suspect was never apprehended and the trail eventually grew cold.

No arrest has been announced and the case remains one of Atlanta’s cold homicides. If anyone remembers the Midtown confrontation or has information about a taxi involved that day, this case still needs tips that could move the investigation forward.
