Nicholas A. Hagood had a wife and two children. He was shot dead by two Blacks. Nicholas would still be here if the races were segregated.

More than a month after a man was shot to death during an armed robbery at a southwest Atlanta apartment complex, police have identified two suspects they believe were involved in his death. And on Wednesday they announced they were searching for the men.

Investigators have obtained warrants, charging Demetrius Fortson, 19, and Jeremy Southern, 24, with murder, according to Atlanta police. And they are asking for the public’s help in finding them.

The shooting happened around 1:30 p.m. March 26 at the Windsor Square Townhomes at 3804 Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, police spokeswoman Officer Kim Jones said.

Investigators said Nicholas Hagood was shot in the chest during an apparent armed robbery at complex. Officers found him already dead in the parking lot.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Fortson and Southern is asked to call the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at (404) 577-8477. Crime Stoppers is offering up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment of the suspects.
