On April 26, 1971, 28-year-old security guard Obediah Reaves was shot and killed while on duty at the Star Loan Company, 227 Mitchell St., in Atlanta. Two men entered the business attempting a robbery; Reaves tried to intervene by jumping one of the gunmen and was struck in the head during the struggle. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his wounds.

After the shooting the suspects fled. Witnesses saw one man get into a 1966 blue Mustang driven by a third accomplice waiting outside, while the other suspect escaped on foot into a nearby alley. No arrests have ever been made and the case remains a cold homicide for the Atlanta Police Department.

Did anyone in the Atlanta area remember seeing a 1966 blue Mustang near Mitchell Street that day or have information about the men involved?
