Maurice Weems’s body was discovered on July 10 around 4 p.m. outside the Reserve at Hollywood apartment complex on Hollywood Road in Northwest Atlanta.

Residents of the complex didn’t want to speak on camera due to fear of retaliation, but told Channel 2′s Tyisha Fernandes that they don’t believe Maurice lived there.

Atlanta police paid several visits to the complex in the past. In September, a shootout between two men left one dead and another injured. About six weeks ago, officers arrested a 61-year-old woman for stabbing another woman.

Police are urging anyone who recognizes them to come forward with information.

People who provide tips that lead to a conviction can receive a reward without revealing their identity by contacting CrimeStoppers.
