Police released doorbell footage shows a suspected vehicle in the case –– a blue Nissan SUV –– creeping up to Mullins' car. In the footage, Mullins backs into a red SUV, his tires squealing, before it comes to a stop. The blue vehicle thens speeds off.
"He's from this community so it was just natural for him to hang over this way. That's what he was doing. He was coming down this street parking. He didn't expect that," Chamika explained.
The family is looking for answers in the case and says there's a $3,500 reward available for information. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
