Righteous Hill was killed Feb. 28 at his home in the 1700 block of Connally Drive in East Point, police said.

Several months after a man was shot to death in East Point allegedly by his cousin, police said they are still trying to make an arrest.

Jaylen Hill, who remains at large, is accused in the February killing of Righteous Hill, East Point police said Wednesday. Officials are offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to his arrest and indictment.

On Feb. 28, officers responded to the 1700 block of Connally Drive, just south of Langford Parkway, and found Righteous Hill suffering from multiple gunshot wounds around 9 p.m. He had been shot in the front entry of his home.

Officials believe the cousins got into an argument before gunfire rang out, police spokesman Sgt. James Watkins said.

Righteous Hill was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died.

Anyone with information on the case or on Jaylen Hill’s whereabouts is asked to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, text information to 274637, or visit the Crime Stoppers website.
