In an intensified quest to resolve the only standing 2024 murder case in Cobb County, GA, the reward sum for any revelatory data relating to the enigma surrounding Curtis Coleman’s death has seen an augmentation to $10,000. Crime Stoppers disclosed this notable increase on Thursday; a rarity within police circles of Cobb County. It is a calculated move they hope will catalyze the emergence of fresh insights.
Detective Gregory Hardage from Cobb Police Department shed light on the unusualness of the increased bounty. He said, ‘As far as my knowledge goes, I believe it has been a considerable time since we’ve offered a reward of this magnitude.’
The unadorned fact that brings us here concerns Curtis Coleman – a devoted father and an admired youth football mentor. Coleman’s life was tragically cut short when he fell victim to a gunshot. The incident is believed to have occurred as he paused his journey to assist an individual who appeared to be in need of aid on Powers Ferry Road last year.
The abrupt end to Coleman’s life sent a shattering ripple effect throughout the community, felt by those who knew him and those who heard his story alike. His murder, still unresolved, continues to haunt the community months later.
Detectives of the local law enforcement are tirelessly examining all possible leads. Particular interest has been attached to two males who were captured by surveillance cameras – one within the territory of Cumberland Mall and the other onboard a bus. They are speculated to have a possible link to the mysterious murder case.
The hope resides largely within the prospects of public assistance. ‘Our earnest anticipation is built around the possibility of someone identifying these persons of interest we wish to interrogate,’ voiced Detective Hardage with a sense of urgency.
A general appeal has been made by the police department for anyone possessing relevant information to reach out to Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta. The number to dial is 404-577-TIPS.
It has been emphasized that individuals who come forward with vital clues can choose to retain anonymity.
