Michael Powell Jr. was 37 when he was found shot dead inside his Cedar Avenue home in northwest Atlanta on the evening of Sunday, December 14, 2014. Officers arriving about 7:30 p.m. discovered him deceased from a single fatal gunshot wound; the house was empty when police entered and no witnesses were located at the scene.

A later search of the residence, performed after a warrant was obtained, uncovered a quantity of narcotics, a detail that investigators noted as the homicide probe continued.
