On a Tuesday morning in December 2017, a workplace in South Fulton County, Georgia, became the scene of a sudden and tragic event. Andre Slocum Jr., a 25-year-old man, was shot and killed by a coworker at Flexible Industrial Solutions on Fulton Industrial Boulevard. The shooter, a temporary employee, had reportedly entered the building, greeted coworkers with a 'Good morning,' and then proceeded to the warehouse where he opened fire.
Slocum was the only person injured and died at the scene.
Family members described Andre Slocum Jr. as a loving husband and father who was eagerly anticipating the arrival of his second child. He had been married for just a few months. His sister, Ariel Logino, stated that the gunman bypassed other employees and specifically targeted her brother, shooting him six times. She and other family members believe the motive may have been jealousy over Slocum's full-time position at the company. They also mentioned that the shooter had been a source of trouble for Slocum and other employees for some time.
The man responsible for Andre Slocum Jr.'s death did not face earthly justice. Shortly after fleeing the scene of the shooting, he was killed in a single-car crash in Alabama, according to Alabama State Police. Investigators have not publicly released a definitive motive for the shooting. Slocum's family remembers him as a standout employee and a former semi-pro football player who dreamed of one day playing for the Atlanta Falcons. His grandmother, Dorothy White, described him as a 'model grandson' who was loved by everyone.
