Deonta Evans was 19 when he was shot and killed on the afternoon of January 13, 2016, while riding his bicycle about a block from home in northwest Atlanta. He had just bought a Powerball ticket for his mother and was passing J.E. Brown Middle School when gunfire broke out; the school went into a temporary lockdown.

Deonta’s family remembered him as a fine kid who wasn’t involved in violence, with plans to pursue music and enroll in Job Corps training.The assailant did not take Deonta’s belongings. Atlanta police later released surveillance video showing a man in jeans and a sweatshirt running from the scene; police said the figure matched the shooter’s description and received a tip the man might be known locally as Mario.

A $2,000 reward was offered, but no arrests were made and the case grew cold, leaving the identity of Mario and the motive unresolved.Have any readers with ties to Vine City or northwest Atlanta seen the surveillance video or have information about the man known as Mario?
