Abraham Malobe, 43, was ambushed and fatally shot while driving on Lee Street near the West End MARTA station in Atlanta on the evening of March 12, 2025. Officers from Atlanta and MARTA responded around 9:10 p.m.; his vehicle was found riddled with bullet holes and witnesses described a barrage of gunfire. Malobe was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries. No arrests have been announced and the investigation is active.

In the shooting’s immediate aftermath a vehicle thought to be fleeing the scene crashed into a utility pole on York Avenue, causing a power outage. Two months later the police released images of four individuals they believe are connected to the fatal shooting and asked the public for help identifying them.

Malobe was a husband and father of four, a real estate investor and the founder of a planned community café called the Malobe Café, which his family says he envisioned as a welcoming spot offering smoothies and juices. The family, supported by their synagogue and faith, says they are carrying on his vision while seeking answers and justice. If anyone saw the attack near Lee Street or has information about the individuals shown by police, please come forward.
