Anthony Frazier was shot in the head outside the American Wings and Seafood restaurant on Cleveland Avenue where he worked as a security guard. The incident was caught on surveillance video. Authorities believe robbery was the motive in Frazier’s shooting, which Atlanta police described as “barbaric.”
The indictment alleges that Henderson shot Frazier with a handgun and stole Frazier’s gun before leaving the scene. Henderson was found and arrested at an urban encampment in the area and was arrested following a quick chase and manhunt, authorities said.
Surveillance video shows two men and a woman happening upon the scene after the shooting and someone can be seen appearing to take something from Frazier’s body. Ray Lamar Gasier and Shakavius Daniel Harris were indicted on financial transaction card theft and a misdemeanor theft by taking charges.
According to the indictment, Gasier and Harris took Frazier’s credit card and wallet after the shooting. Gasier and Harris were arrested a week after the shooting but have since been released from jail, records show.
At the time of Henderson’s arrest, the Atlanta police department declared the investigation ongoing but the homicide case as “cleared”.
Frazier was described by family as a great guy who enjoyed working as a security guard and helping his community.
“Being able to serve was his joy, his passion,” Marlene Evans, Frazier’s wife, said. “Being in the presence of others, just being there to help, that is all he ever did, just helped, whether it was on the job or outside of the job.”
