Cobb County police are investigating the shooting of a man found dead late Tuesday outside his apartment near Six Flags.

Samuel Wilkins, 20, was found just before 10:30 p.m. behind a building at the Riverside Townhomes in the 7400 block of Riverside Parkway, Cobb police spokesman Michael Bowman said.

Wilkins' mother, Charice Jones, told Channel 2 Action News that her son was an aspiring rapper with a bright future.

“I feel he was just on his way to be successful with his music career, and someone just came and stole his life from him,” she said.

No arrests have been made in the case.

Bowman asked that anyone with information on the incident call investigators at 770-499-3945.
