Young father killed outside car while infant daughter was in back seat, family says

Julian Kolb, 20, was a father and a student at Georgia State.

ATLANTA — Editor's note: The video in this story is from a previous report. 

A young father was shot to death outside of his car while his 10-month-old daughter was in the backseat, his family says.

The shooting happened last Friday in Atlanta's West End neighborhood along Allegheny Street SW, which is off Donnelly Avenue SW and not far from a Kroger grocery store.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner identified the man as 20-year-old Julian Kolb of Carroll County. 11Alive's Cody Alcorn spoke to Kolb's family, who said he was a student at Georgia State University. 

Nearly a week since his death, no arrests have been made in the case.

Investigators with the Atlanta Police Department said the shooting happened just before 5 p.m. on Feb. 17. When officers arrived, they found Kolb dead.  

"The motive appears to be drug-related," APD Homicide Commander Germain Dearlove previously said.

To help determine the circumstances of the shooting, Dearlove added he needs neighbors in the area to speak up.

"I've never really been to this corridor, it seems to be a quiet area so we're hoping to get community support to assist us with the investigation to keep the peace in the area," he said.

At this time, APD has not yet said if they've identified a suspect in the case. Anyone with information about the shooting is encouraged to call 911 or report tips to Atlanta Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS.
