Richard Thorpe, 29, known to family as Kastro, was shot and killed outside his mother’s home on Carriage Court in South Fulton, Georgia, on October 2, 2019. According to accounts, a car pulled up, an occupant or occupants opened fire, and Thorpe was struck multiple times; witnesses say the shooter or shooters continued firing after he had fallen, striking him at least six more times. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators told the public they believed the killing might be linked to another violent incident in the area the week before, though they did not disclose details of that possible connection. Despite public appeals and continued work by the South Fulton Police Department, no arrests have been announced and the case is considered cold.

If anyone knew Richard, saw unusual vehicles or people near Carriage Court on October 2, 2019, or has information about the earlier incident investigators mentioned, please come forward.
