In the late summer of 2022, the life of Quittavious Wright, a 32-year-old African American man, was tragically cut short in an act of violence that remains unsolved. On the afternoon of August 7th, Atlanta police were dispatched to the Parkside apartments on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway following reports of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Wright suffering from gunshot wounds.
Despite the immediate response, his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The initial investigation into Wright's death was swift, with the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office confirming the cause of death as a homicide. In the days that followed, the Atlanta Police Department actively sought assistance from the public in identifying those responsible for the shooting. Investigators released a compelling piece of evidence: a doorbell camera video that captured a person of interest in the apartment building's hallway. The footage showed a man in a white shirt who appeared to be waiting for a second individual in a camouflage shirt. The man in the white shirt was heard saying, 'get that bag,' a phrase that echoed ominously in the background of the recording, punctuated by the sound of loud pops and distant yelling.
Despite the release of this video and a photo of a suspect, the investigation into Quittavious Wright's murder has been met with significant challenges. As of early 2026, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains an open and active investigation, a source of ongoing pain for Wright's family and friends who continue to await a breakthrough that might bring them closure. The community remembers him through memorial services, holding onto the hope that justice will one day be served for his untimely death.
