In the early morning hours of October 13, 2015, 35-year-old Chauncey King, a male resident of Atlanta, was found in a parking lot of an abandoned car wash in the 1400 block of Campbellton Road. He had sustained a single gunshot wound to his chest. Emergency services transported him to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Atlanta police began an investigation into the fatal shooting.
In an effort to gather more information, authorities released a surveillance video to the public. The video showed a man inside a nearby convenience store on Campbellton Road just before the homicide occurred. Investigators believed this individual may have witnessed the shooting or had information that could be crucial to solving the case. They appealed to the public for assistance in identifying and locating this potential witness, hoping he might have seen or heard something that could lead to a breakthrough in the investigation.
Despite the police investigation and the public appeal for information, details regarding any arrests or the identification of a suspect or suspects in the death of Chauncey King have not been made publicly available. The case remains a somber mystery, leaving a void for a family and community seeking answers and resolution. A celebration of his life was held on October 20, 2015, at the Word of Faith Love Center in East Point.
