Lauren Bullis, 40, was killed on April 13, 2026, while walking her dog in a residential neighborhood near Battle Forrest Drive off Flat Shoals Road in DeKalb County. Authorities said she suffered gunshot and stab wounds during a violent, apparently random shooting spree that unfolded across Atlanta-area suburbs that morning.

Police and federal officials identified Bullis as an auditor with the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General. Investigators said the spree began around 1 a.m. and included earlier killings in Decatur and Brookhaven; those attacks preceded the fatal assault on Bullis, who was a familiar presence in her neighborhood and often seen walking her dog.

Authorities arrested Olaolukitan Adon Abel, described as a 26-year-old U.S. Navy veteran and naturalized citizen, and charged him with offenses including malice murder and aggravated assault in connection with the series of attacks. Abel was later found unresponsive in his jail cell on April 21, 2026; officials said there was no immediate indication of foul play and an internal review was opened, leaving no trial scheduled for Bullis or the other victims as of that time.

Did anyone who knew Lauren or who was in the area that morning see anything that could help investigators?
