Maurice Weems’ body was discovered around 4 p.m. July 10 outside the Reserve at Hollywood apartment complex on Hollywood Road in northwest Atlanta.

Residents of the complex did not want to speak on camera for fear of retaliation, but said Tyisha Fernandes from Channel 2 that they don’t believe that Maurice lived there.

Atlanta police have visited the complex several times in the past. In September, a shootout between two men left one man dead and another injured. About six weeks ago, officers arrested a 61-year-old woman for stabbing another woman.

Police are urging anyone who recognises them to come forward and provide information.

People who provide information leading to a conviction can receive a reward without revealing their identity by contacting CrimeStoppers.
