In the late summer of 2024, tragedy struck in South Fulton, Georgia, ending the life of a 64-year-old man, Jeffery Bernard Goodwin. On the evening of Thursday, September 12, police were called to the Camelot Condominiums on Old National Highway with reports of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered that Goodwin had sustained fatal injuries from a gunshot wound.
Raised in the metro Atlanta area, Jeffery Goodwin was a familiar and helpful presence in his community.
He worked as a maintenance technician for various apartment complexes and was widely known as the neighborhood handyman, always willing to lend his skills to those in need. His sudden and violent death left a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
In the wake of the shooting, the South Fulton Police Department launched a homicide investigation. Detectives began the arduous task of piecing together the events that led to Goodwin's death. As of now, the investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the case.
The police have reached out to the public for assistance, urging anyone with information to come forward. A reward of up to $2,000 has been offered for tips that lead to the arrest and indictment of the person or persons responsible for Jeffery Goodwin's murder. Investigators are hopeful that community involvement will be key to solving this crime and bringing a measure of peace to a grieving family and neighborhood.
