Two days after a man’s body was found in Inman Park, his family asked the public for help Monday to find the killer.

Officers were flagged down about 7:45 a.m. Saturday and informed of a person down in the area of Elizabeth Street and Bernina Avenue in the northeast Atlanta neighborhood. Officers then found Thomas Arnold’s body in the area, which is near the Atlanta Beltline Eastside and Freedom Park trails. Arnold had been shot at least once, police said.

The investigation is active and in its early stages. Homicide investigators are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Arnold’s family released a statement calling his death a “profound loss” and asking for the public to help the police investigation in any way possible.

“Tom loved his adopted hometown of Atlanta and was a beloved member of the intown community since moving to the Poncey-Highland neighborhood in 2000. Tom will be remembered for his selflessness, his servant heart, and his genuine care for others. Whenever someone needed a helping hand, Tom was there to lend his,” the statement said. “The tragedy of his death leaves a hole in the lives of his loved ones and friends and darkens the light of the vibrant neighborhood of Inman Park and the Eastside Beltline Trail.”

The Inman Park Neighborhood Association told Channel 2 Action News that the organization’s vice president of public safety had been in touch with police about the investigation.

“Our neighborhood is dedicated to community and looking out for our neighbors,” the organization said. “We hope APD is able to conclude their investigation and find who is responsible for this crime.”
