In the early hours of a September morning in Atlanta, the life of 31-year-old Freddie Lowe was tragically cut short. On September 2, 2023, Atlanta police discovered Lowe's body near the Thomasville Recreation Center in the southeast part of the city shortly after 1 a.m.. He had been fatally shot..
The subsequent investigation by law enforcement officials revealed that the fatal shooting likely did not occur where Lowe's body was found.
Instead, evidence pointed to a location less than a mile away, near a home on Norwood Road, as the scene of the crime.. This discovery began to piece together the final moments of Lowe's life and set investigators on the path to finding who was responsible for his death.
The investigation quickly led to a suspect. Leverett Hancock, a 40-year-old man, was identified as the individual allegedly involved in the shooting.. Hancock was taken into custody and subsequently booked into the Fulton County Jail. He faces serious charges, including murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.. As the legal process against Hancock began, the family and friends of Freddie Lowe mourned his passing, holding funeral services for him the following week..
