James Dean, 41, was fatally shot on February 17, 2023, while waiting for a bus at a MARTA stop on Glenwood Road near Candler Road in Decatur, Georgia. Surveillance video shows two men approaching him shortly after 12:30 a.m.; one man pointed a gun, Dean attempted to flee, and was shot from behind, collapsing in a nearby parking lot where he died. The assailants searched his pockets before fleeing; investigators say robbery appeared to be the motive though Dean’s wallet and jewelry were reportedly left behind.

The DeKalb County Police Department released surveillance images showing one suspect in all black and another in an orange jacket and appealed for the public’s help. As of early March 2023, no arrests had been announced. Dean’s family described him as a hardworking, loving father to a 14-year-old daughter and held a funeral in March 2023, urging anyone with information to contact police.

Did anyone see someone matching those descriptions near the Glenwood Road MARTA stop that night?
