Junior Vasquez-Mendez, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot on June 23, 2024, in a northwest Atlanta neighborhood around 11:30 p.m. The shooting also killed 21-year-old Jose A. Ozuna. Officers found one victim inside a Toyota SUV and the other lying beside the vehicle; both had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.

Investigators describe the attack as targeted and tied to an ongoing dispute. Detectives say the shooter arrived with intent, opened fire on Vasquez-Mendez and Ozuna, then fled in a white sedan heading toward Mableton. Police have been investigating and searching for that vehicle, but no arrests have been announced.

Anyone who was in the area of Old Gordon Road that night or who may have seen a white sedan leaving toward Mableton is asked to come forward with information.
