Thomas Arnold was known as a neighbor volunteer who loved dogs. Artez Benton was training to be an electrician and saving to buy a home one day. Rubin Bridges’ twin granddaughters still ask when Papa is coming home.
These are just three of the homicide victims in Atlanta this year out of more than 80 so far.
For the third straight year, homicides are up across Atlanta.
On Sunday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will publish an update on Atlanta’s 2022 homicides, including the stories of the victims and their families. And we ask the tough questions of city and community leaders about police visibility and what can be done to address violence.
Subscribers will find these stories on all of our platforms, including the print and ePaper editions, ajc.com and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution app.
The AJC is providing continuing coverage of this story and its impact on metro Atlanta. This coverage is part of our commitment to strive to make metro Atlanta and Georgia better places in which to live – for this generation and the next.
