Officer David Leslie Hagins was 22 when he was killed while on duty in Sandy Springs, Georgia. On December 14, 1980, Hagins, a member of the Fulton County Police Department who had been with the department less than six months, responded to a jewelry store alarm. He was the first to enter and was ambushed, shot three times. His backup officer was also shot multiple times and had her service weapon stolen before the assailant or assailants fled.

The case remains unsolved. Reports list no arrests or identified suspects, and the offender is recorded as not available. Few details appear to have been resolved publicly about motive or investigative leads.

If anyone has information about the shooting or remembers activity near that jewelry store on December 14, 1980, please come forward.
