In September 2019, the city of Kennesaw was shaken by the violent death of Antuawn Rico Norman, a male resident who was found fatally shot. The grim discovery was made at the Bridges of Kennesaw Apartment Homes, located in the 3800 block of Jiles Road, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement.
Officers were dispatched to the apartment complex on a Tuesday following reports of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they found Antuawn Rico Norman deceased from a gunshot wound. The Kennesaw Police Department quickly launched a homicide investigation into his death.
In the initial stages of the investigation, authorities confirmed that the gunman had not been located, and they appealed to the public for any information that could lead to the killer's whereabouts. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was brought in to assist the Kennesaw police in their efforts to solve the case.
Despite the ongoing investigation, details regarding a suspect or any potential arrests have not been publicly released. A March 2024 news report on a separate homicide in Kennesaw noted that it was the first in the city since Norman's death in 2019 and mentioned that police had not announced any arrests in his case, suggesting the investigation remains open. Authorities have encouraged anyone with information to contact the Kennesaw Police Department or Crime Stoppers Atlanta.
