Patrick Cotrona, 33, was fatally shot on the evening of May 25, 2013, while walking with two friends in the East Atlanta Village area. The group was headed to a local bar when streetlights were out on May Avenue and an armed man demanded their money. The assailant opened fire, killing Patrick and wounding one friend before fleeing in a waiting four-door sedan.

Investigators linked ballistic evidence and witness descriptions to a series of armed robberies in nearby Kirkwood that occurred shortly before the killing. Police circulated a sketch of a Black male believed then to be in his late teens or early 20s and offered a substantial reward, but tips over the years produced no arrest. On the tenth anniversary of the homicide an age-progressed sketch was released showing how the suspect might look in his late 20s or early 30s. The case remains unsolved and the killer unidentified.

If anyone knew Patrick, saw the group that night, or has information about the suspect or the waiting sedan, please come forward.
