Xzavier Tomlin was 23 when he was shot and killed in Atlanta on July 23, 2023. The shooting occurred just after midnight at the Dwell at The View apartments on Hollywood Road in the northwest part of the city, in the Scotts Crossing neighborhood. Police found Tomlin with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators described the incident as arising from a love triangle. Tomlin had gone to the apartment of a former girlfriend and got into an altercation with her new boyfriend, and was shot multiple times in the back. The suspect fled the scene; later reporting identified him as 32-year-old Jamario Richards of Riverdale and said an arrest followed in September.

If anyone saw or heard anything that night at the Dwell at The View or has information about Tomlin’s movements that evening, please come forward.
