On the evening of October 15, 2014, Derrick McGinty, 37, was fatally shot in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 1800 Memorial Drive in East Atlanta. Michael Edwards, 30, was also killed and a third man, John Kinlow, suffered a gunshot wound to his leg. The shooting happened shortly before 11 p.m. and appears to have followed an argument; witnesses described at least two shooters fleeing in a red vehicle.

Atlanta Police canvassed the neighborhood after the shooting, but the investigation cooled. More than a month later both mothers publicly appealed for help: McGinty’s mother, Catherine Collins, said her son left behind six children, and Veronica Edwards described the void from her son’s death as the holidays approached. The case was later profiled on A&E’s The First 48 in July 2016 and Crime Stoppers Atlanta offered a $5,000 reward. No arrests have been announced and the murders remain unsolved.

If anyone has information about the October 15, 2014 shootings or the red vehicle seen fleeing the scene, please share what you know.
