Tovis Germaine Raines Jr. was 29 when he was killed in a shooting on July 9, 2023, on McDaniel Street in Atlanta. Family described him as an innocent bystander and the father of two; he was remembered for his generous nature and an infectious smile.

Atlanta police say the shooting was one of three separate incidents across metro Atlanta that night but that those events were unrelated. Homicide investigators believe the attack that killed Raines Jr. was targeted rather than random. Authorities have interviewed witnesses and reviewed surveillance footage, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone who was in the McDaniel Street area on July 9 or who may have seen relevant vehicles or activity is asked to come forward with information.
