A mother's heart was broken after her 20-year-old son, Malachi Dennis, was shot and killed at an apartment complex in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The young man, who was a male, was found deceased on April 26, 2017, at a complex located off Hariston Road. The shooting is reported to have happened shortly before 7:30 p.m. while it was still daylight.
On the day of the incident, Dennis had spent time with his father and was likely heading to the bus stop in front of the apartment complex when the fatal encounter occurred. His mother recounted that his final words to her as he left were, 'I'll be back mom.' In a detail that adds to the mystery of the crime, police confirmed that Dennis's wallet was not taken from him.
The investigation into the death of Malachi Dennis has been hampered by a lack of leads. Detectives have struggled to find any witnesses to the shooting and have not been able to establish a motive for the killing. As a result, no suspects have been identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with the case. His mother described him as a 'happy-go-lucky kid' who had ambitions of studying sports medicine in college and enjoyed spending time with his loved ones. The authorities have asked for anyone with information to come forward.
