Mark Barnes, a 56-year-old African American Navy veteran from Birmingham, was found dead on a secluded dirt road in South Fulton, Georgia on the afternoon of Monday, April 1, 2019. A postal worker discovered his body in the middle of Chattahoochee Drive SW, off Campbellton Road; responding officers determined he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators concluded the dirt road was likely not the scene of the shooting and that Barnes’ body had been transported and left there. He had been visiting the area to spend time with his daughters and was reportedly looking forward to one daughter’s upcoming graduation. The South Fulton Police Department has classified the death as an unsolved homicide. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

If anyone knew Mark, was in that area on or around April 1, 2019, or has information about where he might have been before his body was found, please come forward.
