Reggie Coicou died where he sat in the passenger seat of a Pontiac. Quincy Wytche, known to his friends as “Fat,” collapsed just few steps from the same vehicle and died on his way to the hospital.

AJC Editor-in-Chief Kevin Riley got inside this case in a way that few journalists ever do. Riley and longtime “Breakdown” host Bill Rankin relate the story of the horrific double-murder and its aftermath.
