Frankie Tyrone Russell, 48, was shot dead inside his home on Deer Springs Drive in Ellenwood, Georgia, on the evening of October 5, 2019. A long-time medical billing and coding employee at Emory University Hospital, Russell was reportedly preparing to grill for a guest he had met through a dating app when, while pouring a drink, he was shot without warning and did not survive.
Surveillance footage from inside the home captured the moments around the killing and images of the suspect. Video shows the man ransacking a bedroom and fleeing; some cameras were stolen but investigators recovered crucial images showing several tattoos, including a left-arm tattoo that appears to read money. Police say the suspect may have been an acquaintance of Russell’s, and a reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment.
The case remained unsolved into early 2020 and the family continued to seek answers. If anyone recognizes the man seen in the recovered images or has information about Russell’s movements that night, please share what is known.
