At 11 a.m. on April 12, Andre Tripps and four unidentified men met at an Exxon Gas Station on the 2000 block of North Druid Hills Road in Brookhahven. The five entered Tripps’ car and drove away.

Later, Tripps body was found during the investigation of a brush fire behind Walden Landing Apartments, which sits on the 11000 block of Tara Boulevard in Hampton, according to a press release by Clayton County police.

The men, who police believe are responsible for, or at least have information on Tripps’ death, were seen driving a black Dodge Charger, the release says. Two of them were recorded on Exxon security cameras.

Anyone with information regarding the incident or the identity of the two men whose pictures were captured is asked to contact Detective J. Carr at 678-610-4790.
