FOREST PARK, GA — Investigators in Forest Park are asking for the public’s help in identifying the person responsible for the shooting death of a 19-year-old man earlier this year.

Brandon Thomas was reported missing by his family in February. Tragically, their search ended in heartbreak when his body was found in an abandoned apartment on Georgia Avenue. Authorities say Thomas had been shot and killed, and they believe the incident occurred around February 19.

The Forest Park Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division is working alongside Crime Stoppers of Greater Atlanta in hopes of finding the person behind the crime. A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and indictment in the case.

Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 404-577-TIPS (8477) or online at www.StopCrimeATL.com. Tipsters do not need to provide their names to be eligible for the reward.

Police continue to investigate and are urging anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward.
