Brookhaven Police are seeking the public’s help in finding the suspect in a Dec. 8 shooting where the victim’s body was dumped on the I-85 southbound ramp and run over by the fleeing driver.
A 911 call led to the discovery of 28-year-old Wesley Rackley of Atlanta, who was the victim of a shooting and hit and run on Dec. 8.
Video surveillance shows an older silver Honda Pilot pulling into and parking at the McDonald’s on North Druid Hills Road around 3:45 p.m. Two people are seen talking in the parking lot, then the victim leaves on foot and returns, getting into the passenger side of the car. The video shows the Honda Pilot leaving McDonald’s with the victim’s feet partially outside of the vehicle.
The vehicle continued to the I-85 southbound ramp where it stopped. The driver pulled the victim from the car, left him on the side of the road, and fled. A witness said the Honda Pilot ran over the victim’s feet and legs as it drove away.
The victim was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital suffering from a single gunshot wound to his chest. He was pronounced dead upon arrival.
