Mushtaq Moloo, 46, was a well-known and well-liked owner of the ATL Food Mart on Barnett Street in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood of Atlanta. Born in Pakistan and having come to the United States at 18, he had recently become a U.S. citizen and was described as a hardworking family man who served regular customers with kindness.

On the night of August 16, 2012, around 10 p.m., Moloo was shot and killed inside his store. Neighbors reported hearing a gunshot and screams and found him collapsed on the street; bystanders tried to render aid until paramedics arrived but he did not survive. Police believe the motive was robbery and say evidence at the scene, including a bloody baseball bat Moloo kept for protection, indicates a struggle.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. He left behind a wife and three young children. Does anyone who shopped at the ATL Food Mart or lived in Virginia-Highland at the time have information that could help this cold case?
