On the night of July 23, 2026, 26-year-old Tyler Sieber was shot and killed on Interstate 285 in Atlanta after pursuing a driver who had just committed a hit-and-run against his father. Sieber followed the fleeing vehicle to the Buford Highway exit, stopped, and got out of his truck to photograph the other car and its driver as evidence. The other driver then opened fire, fatally wounding Sieber, stole his phone to remove the photographs, and fled. His family tracked his phone’s signal until it went dead and later found only the discarded phone case.

DeKalb County police opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for help, including dashcam footage that might identify the suspect or the vehicle. Initial reports in late July and early August 2026 said no arrests had been made and no description of the shooter or vehicle had been released. The case remains an active investigation and Sieber’s family is still awaiting answers.

Did anyone in the Atlanta area see or capture dashcam or traffic footage near the Buford Highway exit on I-285 that night?
