Jerrod Ford was 22 when he was shot to death in the early hours of November 1, 2013, after leaving home in southwest Atlanta around 11:30 p.m. to attend a birthday party. Police found him shot behind an apartment building on Alison Court, about three miles from where he had started the night.

Family accounts say Ford left with a group of men and in a champagne-colored Porsche Cayenne, and they suspect those who were with him may know more than they have said. By the time police located him, he reportedly had no identification, jewelry, money, or cell phone, which relatives interpret as possible signs of robbery and as having erased clues about his final movements.

Early reporting indicated Atlanta police had no leads and no publicly identified suspect. The family publicly urged anyone with information about the people he was with that night to come forward. If anyone knew Jerrod, the men he went out with, or saw him that Halloween night, please share what you know with investigators.
