Reginald Sellers

Reginald Sellers was a 29-year-old Black man from Fayetteville, Georgia, remembered as a funny and loving person with a gentle spirit. Known to loved ones by nicknames like Reggie, he had attended Central Georgia Technical College and Atlanta Metropolitan before working as a forklift operator for Amazon. His life came to a violent end in the late summer of 2021, leaving a community searching for answers.

Around 2 a.m. on Thursday, September 2, 2021, police were dispatched to the Red Roof Plus and Suites on Old National Parkway in College Park, Georgia. When officers arrived, they found a grim scene inside one of the hotel rooms. Sellers and another man, 32-year-old Ipalibo Wariboko, were discovered unresponsive. Both men had been fatally shot.

The initial police investigation pointed to a violent confrontation during a robbery. Authorities announced that the incident appeared to be an armed robbery that may have involved suspected narcotics. According to police, two unidentified gunmen were seen entering the hotel room just before the shooting. The same two men were then seen fleeing the hotel immediately afterward.

In the days following the double homicide, police continued their search for the two suspects, but they have not been publicly identified. As of September 2021, the gunmen remain at large, and the case is unsolved. The investigation into the deaths of Reginald Sellers and Ipalibo Wariboko is ongoing. Authorities urge anyone with information about the shooting to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 404-577-8477 or 404-761-1313.
