On January 29, 1978, Louis Zaglin, a 53-year-old White man, was shot and killed at a flea market at 2424 Piedmont Road NE in Atlanta, Georgia. Zaglin discovered an unknown Black man inside his parked van; when he approached to confront the intruder, he was shot. The suspect fled the scene and has never been identified. The shooting was ruled a homicide.

Decades later the Atlanta Police Department still lists the case as a cold homicide; no arrests have been announced. Very little else is publicly known about witnesses, a motive, or whether evidence collected at the scene produced leads.

If anyone was at the flea market that day or remembers seeing a person near Zaglin’s van, please come forward with information.
