Late on a Wednesday in September 2016, 28-year-old Anthony Greg Johnson was killed in a violent home invasion at his apartment on Hatton Drive in the Scottdale area of DeKalb County, just outside Atlanta. Johnson was in the living room with a friend and family members, including a two-year-old child who was next to him; the child was unharmed. Two other children, ages nine and eleven, were in a back room and were not physically injured.

The front door was forced open and the living room was sprayed with gunfire. Johnson died of gunshot wounds to his head, leg, and arm. A 30-year-old father from Lithonia and a 32-year-old neighbor of Johnson’s were critically wounded. Investigators found multiple bullet holes in the walls, sofa, and window and many spent shell casings on the floor. Police said the preliminary motive appeared drug-related, but witnesses could not give a clear description of the shooters or how many there were. No suspects or arrests have been publicly announced.

Did anyone in the Scottdale area see or hear anything that night that could help this investigation?
