Police are asking for help to identify a man suspected of stabbing another man to death Tuesday evening in southwest Atlanta’s Adair Park neighborhood.
Officers and paramedics were called to a home in the 900 block of Metropolitan Parkway around 5:50 p.m. and treated a man with a stab wound, according to Atlanta police. Despite their lifesaving efforts, the man died at the scene.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as 57-year-old Antonio L. Whatley.
Police have released photos of a suspect in the killing and are asking for the public’s help to identify him. Investigators said Whatley may have been involved in a dispute with the suspect before he was stabbed to death.
