In the early hours of a Sunday morning in September 2013, 20-year-old Derrick Jr. Benning of College Park was shot while walking with a friend near the 400 block of Wabash Avenue in northeast Atlanta. The two were headed to a store around 1:30 a.m. when a dark-colored Chrysler 300 drove up and shots were fired from the vehicle. Benning was struck at least once and later died at Atlanta Medical Center.

Police opened a homicide investigation but reported no immediate arrests; the occupants of the Chrysler 300 left the scene and their identities remain unknown. Investigators and Benning’s family later appealed to the public for information and a reward was offered, but the case grew cold and remains unsolved.

If anyone was in that area that night or has information about a dark-colored Chrysler 300, contact investigators with any details that might help bring answers.
