Phillip T. Sciarrone was 32 when he was shot dead at work on March 6, 1985. He was employed eight years at a United States Postal Service facility in Atlanta and was operating a letter-sorting machine when a co-worker, Stephen W. Brownlee, produced a .22-caliber handgun and opened fire. The attack killed Sciarrone and another postal worker; a third employee was wounded. Investigators did not determine whether the victims were specifically targeted or chosen at random.

Brownlee, 30 at the time, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault, and was sent to the psychiatric unit at Grady Memorial Hospital for evaluation. A jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity on June 21, 1985. Sciarrone’s widow, Lorraine Sciarrone, later filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Brownlee.

If anyone worked at that postal facility or knew Phillip, does anyone recall his shift, colleagues, or any detail that might shed light on that day?
